Achieving Achievement
It took an eon some would say
A decade or much more
To recognize the work he did
The way he did outpour
His heart and soul in everything
His mind so well attuned
The way he worked consistently
His ethic so festooned
With grit, determination and
A focus of intent
Pure motivation in his drive
Without any relent
And after such self-discipline
At last he had reward
Achievement’s stamp that said “Well done!
Your effort, we applaud
Your attitude; exemplary
Your mind-set of pure gold
Now see that it’s been all worthwhile
You’ve broken from the mould
For let no one dare stand and think
It was the easy way
For by persistent grafting you
Got where you are today! ”
