Richard Lamoureux Poet Acrostic

Think Big

Today I will not be a slave to yesterday
Hours will be distilled into precious moments 
I will know the enormity of what is small
Now is where my power finds release
Knowledge comes from observing 

Battles are often waged in the past
I am choosing to find peace within myself
God has always been there waiting
