Shine

Shine

A Poem by Jake Staffeld

Climb to the top of these
Mountain like obstacles
These days drag on
Don't stop searching
For the night
It's right in front 
Of your face

Rest is all you need
When the day won't end
You'll find love and hate
Realize that mice and men
Are all small in the end

So now's the time
Grab the fire
And do with it
What you please
Now that you shine
Like the sun in the sky

I like the statements in this poem.
"You'll find love and hate
Realize that mice and men
Are all small in the end"
I like the field trip you took me with your words. Thank you for the outstanding poem.

Very nicely done! Though I found one small error. Mountain needs to be Moutains.
