Determine To Mine Opportunities Poem by John Sensele

Make up your mind to mesmerize dangers minor and major
If your deserved destination you should reach
In spite of all perils you dare to glare at in dollops of danger
Inoculated in messages and passages which clouds of doubt preach.

Make up your mind to forge ahead despite your outrage
At injustices and prejudices along perilous paths your encounter
To bring about the best behavior built on your courage
To confront the affront and effrontery which from reason run counter.

Make up your mind to reach out for the prize
Promised long before your first breath saw the light of day
Despite cumulus clouds that obscured the sunrise
Meant and sent to light up your wondrous way without delay.

Make up your mind to hear opportunity knock
At your door piping and swiping credibility cards on the floor
You meant to hew from the evolving and revolving rock
Sent, meant and bent to open or close your dream door.
