The Challenge
-- by Author Unknown -- Sent in by Anna Marie Amp16009@aol.com

Blessed is the man, indeed,
Who in this life can find;
A PURPOSE that can fill his days,
And GOALS to fill his mind!

The world is filled with little men.
Content with where they are;
Not knowing joys success can bring,
No WILL to go that far!

Yet, in this world there is a need,
For men to lead the rest.
To rise above the "average" life,
By giving of their best!

Would you be one, who dares to try,
When challenged by the task;
To rise to heights you've never seen,
or is that too much to ask?

This is your day--a world to win.
Great purpose to achieve;
Accept the challenge of your goals
And in yourself, BELIEVE!

You will be proud of what you've done,
When at the close of day;
You look back on your battles won,
Content, you came this way!
