Yes, You Can

Yes, you  can!


Climb the mountain, no matter
how treacherous and steep!
Keep your eye on the lofty prize, 
far, far above your eyes.

It's when you are most exhausted,
that the second wind fills your lungs.
Negative thoughts seem heavier than 
iron rungs.

But you will most assuredly achieve.
You simply must.....believe!

P.S...sometimes it seems impossible to pen a poem! Like climbing Kilimanjaro.-)) But you got my point. This idea applies to other areas of my life. One moves forward or stagnates. Have to hold on to my dreams and run with them. Negativity is a stop. Thanks PS..Panagiota xxx
