Levels Of Achievement Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Chasms mounting pathways to enlightenment, avariciously awaiting the failures of individuals.

Taking away all footholds, climbing and growing, becomes
a difficult, if not almost impossible task.

Regardless of age, creed or race, life asks from each
of us steps we'd prefer not to take.

Levels of achievement are not dependent upon intelligence
or common sense, just a small thing called desire is
required.

Survival instinct as technically it's known, contemplating
life a little ahead of time, striving to attain a leading
edge without falling back down into the chasm.

Bringing hope with each person's new success, we talk
and help one another to cope and continue living on,
each to our own future.
