Memories, Motivation, and Words of Wisdom
Oh, the search through memories
Things and how they used to be
Bygone days with no return
Lessons taught and lessons learned
Mistakes of course, some long to dwell
The guiding hand, I know too well
Some days it seems a heavy cloak
About my neck, a weathered yoke
Imagined yes, but it blocks my way
Spinning wheels, and wasted days
Yet truth evolves, a frame advance
The endless strength of second chance
Motivation breaking through
Not what you could, but what you do
Wisdom found is wisdom gained
Then nothing needs to be explained
Wistful phrases from long gone days
The second half, still time to play
Cowboy up, rough times ahead
Keep on living, or wind-up dead
Push yourself, no help is coming
To win the race, just keep on running
You only fail when you stop trying
To find a job, just keep applying
Don’t stop when tired, but when you’re done
When things get tough, make them fun
Chase your dreams and never slow
Set your goal to best of show
Obstacle is just a word
Grow some wings, become a bird
Guard your wits, and slake your tongue
Even with a burning lung
Patience rules, above the rest
The choice made first, the one that’s best
Lend faith inside, to intuition
Never pass, without permission
Your soul is filled with inspiration
Wide and strong, a true foundation
If in a hole, don’t dig it deeper
Mind your time, become a keeper
Change your habits, choose self-care
Appreciate things, try to share
Memories past, lost long dates
Choose the ending, life awaits
