Accomplishments Poem by Rita Hawkins

Do you want to do something in life?
I am talking about anything,
Simple or something that takes strife
Maybe you want to have children, or settle down with a wife.

Maybe you want to get an 'A' on that test,
Or head west.
Maybe you want to be 'the best, '
Or meet someone special at that feast.

Maybe you want to learn how to treat guest,
Or you want to eat less.
Maybe you want to clean up that big mess,
Or stop seeing your younger brother as a pest.

No matter what it is,
You and the rest of us want in this gyre shaped world
We all need the desire to make the fire.

Do not just sit there as motionless as wire,
Do not be stopped by that thing causing dire.
No one is going to hire you that way,
That is not going to get you lire.

Come on are you going to sit there and admire it,
Or are you going to put the shovel into the mire.
With one move you can change life,
Just like you can change that tire.
