Weave

"Kites fly highest against the wind, not with it." - Winston Churchill 
"Do not go where the path may lead; go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." - Ralph Waldo Emerson 

Weave your path of destiny,
with the gold thread of your hope, 
with the fabric of your faith, 
and the needle of your courage. 

Build your boat to brave the storm, 
with sails that dance with the waves;
Sail on seas that no one dared, 
and conquer the hearts of their souls.  

Spread your wings like an eagle, 
flap them hard against the wind;
For against the wind, you'll learn to fly high. 
Soar high above the highest mountain. 

Brace your feet against slip,
and guard your knees against stumble; 
Walk a path and leave a road,
that to see is to remember.
