Sticking with it. <br />And trying not to be out of it. <br />Everyday there is a reason I find... <br />Not to toss in the towel to give up and quit. <br /> <br />And although it is tough staying motivated, <br />I awaken feeling appreciative. <br />I can not say I relate to being elated... <br />But there is so much of life that can be abundantly lived. <br /> <br />Sticking with it. <br />And trying not to be out of it. <br />Everyday there is a reason I find... <br />Not to toss in the towel to give up and quit. <br />No. <br />I know what I should and should not resist. <br /> <br />Even forcefully establishing my own initiative, <br />I seek to give to myself as a gift. <br /> <br />Sticking with it can be sticky sometimes. <br />But the finding of motivation within one's mind, <br />To look at each step made as a forward climb... <br />Will not need anyone to define these times. <br />Not if one is kept busy living.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
