A REALIZATIONA Poem by The Fretless Horseman
Whatever may rise to greet me
I must learn to embrace No matter how I am feeling There is something to chase Whether that is wealth, a pair of wings, A heart that loves, a mouth that sings, A well-paying job, or freedom from stress, Realize that, in many ways, I am blessed Whatever may attempt to defeat me, I must stand with all my strength Life is a campaign to free oneself And,in war, one goes to great lengths I remember my grandfather's father And his heroism in the face of evil Two purple hearts and a silver star later, He inspired me not to fear other people. Long had I sought and now I have found The map to the treasure of a life that gets better Inspired by many, but touched by few I hope that my legacy is not lost when I'm through Whatever forces seek to shut me down Fall flat on their faces when they discover That I am not alone I counted my blessings, built my defenses My mind is trained to combat the relentless Victory begins with a realization That feelings are one's own creation
