Another Day, Another Challenge Poem by Jonathan ROBIN

When entertaining easy options think
each step leads on to better or to worse, -
victory, defeat for heart or purse
depends upon the ways these choices link.
Conformity is self-defeat. Don’t sink
to common mediocrity – a curse!
Open mind to others, share, converse.
Refuse to blindly toe the line, but ink
in all life’s pages proudly, never shrink.
Another day, another challenge, - nurse
patience, judgement bias free, disburse
understanding, from shared spring drink deep.
The door towards serenity ahead
enjoy, - dark envy, censure, never dread...
