Enduring



To come from behind…and win the race…
To cultivate the intestinal fortitude to recover
From the discouragement of life’s hard pace…
To believe in yourself…no matter what…
To keep on running…when you are behind…
To maintain your vision…when others stop cheering…
To ignore the pain…that stops lesser beings…
To rise from your failings…and continue to strive…
To speak a truth to yourself…that transcends the facts…
To remain humble in the face of adulation
To hold your head high…in the face of defeat…
To know all persons ...as you know yourself
And to love them no less…

 
From the book  “In My Element.” By Roy Alexander Graham
