Milestones

Milestones are temporary stops.

All records must be broken.

Heart and love of any game

are odd shattering tokens.

 

Greed and individualism will never do,

they're the wind which stirs each cloud.

Reaching deep for courage and strength,

are goals that gather crowds. 

 

A tiny voice within ones mind

to prod that extra mile...

Even failure has a place,

when taken with a smile.

 

Setbacks are a delay of dreams

when placing another first.

Re-writing history with your team,

will quench the parchest thirst.

Paul,
This poem is inspiring - for many moments in life and for many different things. I feel like I was drawn to it, now when I need to take heart in this message. It reminds me of your supportive comment to my latest poem, which I thank you for. Your faith and strength of character shine here. Love and Hugs:)

Setbacks are a pause, but it is often in these momentary delays that we learn, refresh, reset our path on its correct line. Milestones, you're right, Paul, are but temporary before we head on again, and find our selves so often by joining in with the team.

dereams" and "odd shattering tokens." Wise words indeed!

EXCELLENT topic and metaphor, Paul - especially in the light of England's win of the Ashes this week! :)) Wonderful and inspiring thoughts here - your lines need to be thoroughly digested and meditated upon. A great and motivating poem, thank you. Kate xx

Wisdom flows through the lines of "Milestones". It is a message for
building the new era of togetherness and accomplishments.

Thank You, Poet, for adding value to The American Fine Letters.
