Footprints

Dear you,

to leave a footprint in the sand of time

you have got to beat the sandstorm,

And heed no attention to those who call you bookworm.

Failures

Do not let it scare you

for it is a way to get back on track

when you venture astray.

Edison failed a thousand times

Just to light up our world.

Perseverance

It is a dreaded pool

being avoided by a fool

for only those with the heart of patience

can get to its depth without drowning.

Opportunity

It looks like pebble

to the ignorant mind

whilst he casts his precious stones

down beneath the sea bed.

Dedication

This should be your bride

or the groom in your dreams

For the more acquaintance built

the better you can become.
