Although I am not necessarily one to read or quote a lot of poetry, I thought that this poem could make a lot of sense for some of you. It is not easy to keep going sometimes, or even to try again if you feel you failed at something. So, I liked this poem for all of you who feel like you got knocked out and are down for the count! Get back up. Try again. Male or female, we all get knocked out once in awhile! The poem was only credited to someone going by the name of "manlypoetryman" - so that is the best I can do to give credit to the author.
Love, Parran Matt
Destiny is Calling...
Finding Myself at the Place Where:
Destiny is calling…and I will answer it one more time…
Re-Inspire my desire…This time I will put it all on the line…
With Determination…the highest priority on my mind…
Wishful thinking takes over…I will punch my way out of a bind.
Driven by my deepest fiber from within…
I will step back into “the Ring” once again…
This time…It will not be over…until I say when…
And go toe to toe with my opposition…a desire of all men.
When a man is given the Opportunity and inspired by Courage…
Getting back into the fight as an older man…becomes a rite of passage…
As with wine…the years behind it…help improve its’ vintage…
Prepared for the task at hand…I’m ready to start a rampage.
Every man has to do what he has to do…That’s true…
Of stamina and endurance…I’m here to tell you…
Better not throw in the towel…until I am through…
I will not leave until I do what I have come here to do.
Overcoming this challenge…shall be my legacy…
At the Summit’s top…I will be what I must be…
After taking all that life has dished out at me…
Then you will ultimately see...That I will have the victory.
So after struggling…and after so long of not feeling complete…
Something or Someone will pay for every time I was beat…
Invincible …I was not down for the count in total defeat…
Don’t ever count me out…At the place where destiny and determination meet.
