Defying the odds. <br />Winning to get attention, <br />After being kicked to the curb... <br />Is an awesome feeling one deserves. <br /> <br />Faith and promise with hard work, <br />Motivates a determination. <br />Taking initiative proves its worth. <br />And one who sweats gets what's best. <br /> <br />Defying the odds. <br />Winning to get attention, <br />After being kicked to the curb... <br />Is an awesome feeling one deserves. <br /> <br />And those naysayers, <br />With their bitter bittened lips... <br />Appear more embarrassed, <br />By the spreading of their negative gossip quipped. <br /> <br />Faith and promise with hard work, <br />Motivates a determination. <br />Taking initiative proves its worth. <br />And one who sweats gets what's best. <br /> <br />Defying the odds. <br />Winning to get attention, <br />After being kicked to the curb... <br />Is an awesome feeling one deserves.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
