Conquering Hurdles! Poem by Michael Gale

A slap in the face is all that's needed,
Throwing caution to the wind should always
be heeded!
Into life all must tread, With rolled up
sleeves, in over our head!
Keep on trying in life we must try,
It's do or die, going full circle, falling
on down and sorrowfully to cry!
What keeps man taking on all odds?
He has faith in himself and also in God!
Obstacles and hurdles he must defeat,
All his mistakes, he must not repeat!
Once man wins his ultimate battle,
No longer will he wander, like long
lost cattle!
