I don’t often practice <br />everything I preach. <br />Bright spotlights shine from above. <br />Only you are in control <br />of your bittersweet destiny. <br />Everything I want <br />is barely in reach. <br />So much to do <br />in one short lifetime. <br />Unspeakable perseverance <br />and devotion to the dream. <br />Soar over obstacles <br />in the mind and soul. <br />Take one step at a time. <br />Walk upon the gilded stage of your dream <br />and never walk away.<br /><br />Night Sky<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bright-stage/
