Poem of the Day:

A Will, A Way

The wind is fierceAs she begins her climb Lean forward, head down Arms pump to get her knees up She shortens her stride The hill is the obstacleShe needs to confront No way around it but up You could turn aroundBegins the conversation Resign to the elevationYou don’t need to climb this hill

Turn around, aren’t you feeling ill? The thoughts zoom in But she is ready-I will climb this hill

Strong and steadyI will not back down

I will keep pushing Her legs are strong Her mind is too I will repeat these thoughtsI know what is true She will get up this hillHer mind in control I will not stop

I will make it to the top
