A Lame Duck Once... Poem by M. Asim Nehal

A lame duck struggling to keep pace
cautious in every way out in this jungle space
but brave in spirit as it continues to strive
through the trials of life somehow it learned to survive
faces challenges yet not flounders and falls
with an attitude of never give up it answers the calls
for in its heart, there's a fire that burns all time
a determination that forever churns
with each day it grows stronger and wiser
now no longer a victim of self restrain
In this jungle, it has found its own way
a lame duck once, now a proud one to stay.
