Stay Encouraged

Sometimes, you have to wait too long
To achieve the goals that you set.
Achievements that you want to get
Year after year, while staying strong.
Even though your wait time seems wrong,
Never allow yourself to fret,
Convinced that you will never let
Obstacles rob you of your song.
Understand how fast things can change,
Right in front of you, for the best.
Always take shots within your range,
Gaging the distance of your quest.
Even though this advice sounds strange,
Deposit it deep in your chest.
