The mind. <br />The body. <br />And every muscle, <br />Connected... <br />To patience long neglected, <br />By a show of disrespect. <br />Becomes strengthened with discipline, <br />That shows and goes into effect. <br /> <br />Stretching beyond pain felt that aches, <br />Will eventually elevate a foot to lift... <br />With a determination to hit a mark, <br />Directly embraced, <br />By an awaiting targeted placed... <br />One desires to hit with an unsuspecting, <br />Swiftness of it. <br /> <br />'Owwww... <br />Why did you do that? ' <br /> <br />With age comes a bravery, <br />I guess! <br />Who knows what tomorrow may bring? <br /> <br />'That doesn't make sense! ' <br /> <br />Oh? <br />You don't know how much it does!<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/with-age-comes-a-bravery/
