Desiring a life to accomplish what one wishes, <br />Is a challenge against those odds... <br />That come to discourage, <br />The one who remains focused. <br /> <br />Obstacles impossible seem to pop from everywhere. <br />To test emotions and one's endurance. <br />And anyone who has ever faced opposition knows... <br />Friends can become unconsious foes sometimes. <br />And those thought to be foes... <br />Eventually become those who are the most close. <br /> <br />One truly doesn't know who 'is' or who isn't... <br />Until it is recognized, <br />The one who has lived a life dedicated... <br />Being who they are from the beginning, <br />Becomes more appreciated by those... <br />Who acknowledge a life lived devoted, <br />Is not a bed of roses... <br />On a path one has cleared of thorns. <br /> <br />Desiring a life to accomplish what one wishes, <br />Is a challenge against those odds... <br />That come to discourage, <br />The one who remains focused. <br />On a path one has cleared of thorns.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
