Happy New Year! Please take a moment to read the January 2011 Poem of the Month “Obstacles” Don’t forget to leave a comment! Have a blessed month!
~Todd Bates
I try not to write with a pen or pencil, instead I write with my soul.
I stand up to every problem sent my way and I’ve never been known to fold.
While others are focusing in on the Bronze or Silver I have my eyes set on Gold.
Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.
Almost like when you’re playing in a game and you focus on the cold.
So keep your eyes on the prize and don’t let anyone be a distraction.
Don’t say what you’re going to do let people see through your actions.
