I desire
to go the distance
of the fire
Ambition
is my true mistress
I’ll not tire
I prefer
the higher mountain
here to climb
I’ll revere
the call of reason
not the rhyme
I desire
to go the distance
I demand
Aspiring
for no resistance
Perfect, planned

Ahh, great poetry. I’m afraid poetry isn’t my forte 😦
Thanks so much, that is very kind!! 🙂 🙂
I think we all would like to think we could go the distance, that we are stayers not sprinters. Lovely Helen.
Thanks Michael!! 🙂 🙂

Thank you!! 🙂 🙂
Oh, Helen!! I missed your work over the holidays. Sorry I have been so late in getting here on some days. Life is rather swirly/twirly right now. 🙂 I loved this! xxxx
Thanks Skye! I haven’t been around much myself either – work stuff for me as usual – so have tried to keep up with everyone and not done it so well…it just looks like I’m here more than I am because I have poems scheduled to post each day till the end of the year. 🙂 🙂
