Samuel Johnson Quote

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.

From Proverbs 23:23:  “Buy truth, and do not sell it; buy wisdom, instruction, and understanding.”

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) was an English writer.  Many of his published works featured insightful essays, sermons, and poems.

Fighter’s Will

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.
