Drive

I wrote this mostly to inspire myself

Drive

 

People with drive, a sense of purpose,

Do not sit around, wallowing in depression.

People with drive, dig in and get busy,

They toil to create an existence,

In the realm of time in which they exist.

 

People with drive don’t use every circumstance,

As an excuse to wilt and draw back,

They push ahead keep their eyes on the prize,

They use circumstances as reasons to move ever forward.

 

People with drive don’t always finish first,

But they never drop out of the race.

They arrive, at times, battered and bruised,

But be confident they will surely arrive.

Karen, this is one of your best. It makes one think that we only go through this life once, and we need to treat those moody days like a temporary illness so we can pick up and carry on the following day.

A terrfic write.

So true, although sometimes the drive needs to take a break, and regroup to be effective when the burdens begin to slow the forward momentum.
