Succeed


Succeed

Eyes shifty from worry
A gun awaits its release
Step up to the line
Get, Set and Go
Don't fail

Mind in order, hair askew
Pens at the ready
Make every second count
You may now begin writing
Don't fail

A cigarette to the lips
Six strings standing by
Prepare your mind
Step up to the mike
Don't fail

Braided tie, polished shoes
Smart as your paper says
Smile, nod, impress
Can you start this Monday?
Don't fail

White altar, whiter flowers
Fair lady on your arm
Answer the questions
You may now kiss the bride
Don't fail

A pigeon carries the message
The chitter chatter, a mere murmur
Hurry; hold; cry. Be brave
Take care of your mother for me
Don't fail

A pretty girl in her prom dress
Walking down the stairs
Hold back those tears
Dont wait up, Dad
Don't fail

Held prisoner, in a fortress
Of a pillow-wielding prince
Feel young again
Come on, grandpa
Don't fail

Buzzing sounds; Heavy breathing
Surroundings darken
Smile.
We're losing him
Didn't fail

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
