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! ”

Be Who You Want To Be!

I fell upon the stairs last night
And slipped the whole way down
And at the end a gulf appeared
That sucked me in the ground

Much like the hole that Alice found
But here no rabbits ran
Instead a world of possibility
A place of no set plan

A realm of opportunity
A domain of prospects rife
A  land where all could have a go
To flourish and live life

And sat up on the hillside
Was a place that seemed so real
A place of safety and of sanctuary
To contemplate and heal

To sit a while and listen
To that small voice from within
That gave direction and gave succour
With help and with meaning

And as it did the mist cleared
The whole world opened wide
The sunshine shone so strongly
With rays of light beside

And a truth revealed in glory
With encouragement anew
That all you need to be in life
Is very simply you!

For it’s you that has the courage
It’s you that holds the key
The you that’s always good enough
To be just who you want to be!
