If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.

Bloodied, yet unbowed
Facing another trial
With relentless pursuit
Victory’s quiet exile
Stubborn in spirit
Challenging expected norms
Overwhelmed emotions
Victory’s breath waits to form
Positive outlook
Rising from valley below
Fighter’s will surfaces
Victory’s cherished chateau
Darkness encroaches
Scaling mountain’s lofty peak
Game’s outcome in dire straits
Victory’s voice waits to speak
Lightning’s final strike
Framing improbable run
Overtime’s goal completes
Victory’s cheers, say we won
This poem was inspired from watching a recent high school lacrosse post-season match. Overcoming the odds, the victorious team fought back to win in overtime. My granddaughter played an inspiring match, and her steal and goal sealed a sudden victory.

Putting first things first is an issue at the very heart of life.
