Effort

Effort

The world is sand and ocean,
We're caught in repetitive motion!
We try to rest on the hidden beach;
Waves of trials find us; and teach.

We escape to heights! ere stepping stone,
Ascending trial; creates muscle tone!
Simply whisper where you want to be,
Then include zealous life; being free!

Having cherished; freedom to choose!
Consequence endings; we'll never lose!
The mind can fly! or lock in place,
Soar to honor! or wallow in disgrace.

Do you not remember your first estate?
Past a critical test, this is not fate!
If we'll make effort; and choose the right!
Endure to the end, thus achieving flight!

Jim magical stuff you have served up here and your life message is not lost or forgotten on this reader and dare I say, avid fan.
For you are one of a select group of social heartbeats on here, who really KNOWS how to put a true thinking message over and do it in such a way that is never heavy handed, never forced/ contrived and God forbid never lacklustre or boring.
Just class.
Pure class.
For what effort one puts in is what one takes out.
Which is an amicable reward in itself.
Keep writing Jim and I'll keep reading and back for more as the weeks progress.
Respect to you my friend and thank you for sharing.Ā
