Striving Poem by Michael Poston

Striving to become stronger
even as the days grow longer.
Battle with rivals,
support and help friends for survival.

Don't take the same road,
live by the warriors code.
Don't make the same mistakes,
nothing is a piece of cake.

Get knocked down hard,
don't count on your good luck card.
All you have is your dream,
be like water and flow with the stream.

Everything else is annoying,
and troublesome.
