Poetic Verses
Action
See that mountain, towering so high into the sky
You want to climb to the top, this you can't denigh
But you can wish and hope, neither will get you there
Only by making that climb, will you ever get near.
Standing by the river bank, admire the other side's verdent beauty
You want to go over there, this will certainly make you happy
Therefore how much the water roars, with such a torrent flow
You will have to make a crossing, to get where you want to go.
It is good to admire the rewards of a very successful person
But should also remember that they did not get that in a season
But because of years of dedication, sacrifice and hard work
Persevering when all others have just given up hope.
Even when you search the pages of history, you will see
That those who had a dream did not achieve it quite easily
Remember Columbus, in his quest to reach east by sailing west
Through persistance, got the support to carry out this test.
Even though you may have a plan, that you think will work
There is still some action needed to get some support
And human beings like to see something that is tangible
So there has to be something there that is achievable.
Even as the head hits against that proverbial glass ceiling
You know that will take some time and effort to effect its breaking
And one can appreciate that it has been struck from all quarters, by all genders
But we are all still waiting for the moment when it really shatters.
