Christopher Rowland Poet Rhyme

You Do, Do Maya Angelou

"So correct is Maya Angelou,
“Nothing will work unless you do”

Sweat and hard work is not enough,
You need to be strong and mentally tough

Strong in integrity and motivation,
With focus and determination 

Self worth and happiness are also key,
To have that balance in “me”

To insure what I claim for me,
I am capable to share with “we”

Hard to give when you are broken,
Or to receive by the same token 

So each day accept who you are,
Knowing that life leaves a few scars

As we seek to define,
Where our priorities align

Decisions are always hardest,
When you’re at your weakest

Or confused by your emotions,
Which hinder our forward motion

Toward that which we want,
Because indecision haunts

Be motivated instead, to explore,
What you really want and more

Believing that you will get through,
Because everything works when you do"
