Analysis of Challenge Accepted
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
If it has been a challenge to accept,
A doing of one's best.
With no excuses to make,
To create the expectation of them to give.
One on a path determined to follow,
Their own belief...
As to how success for them is achieved.
Will either prove their direction taken right.
Or learn mistakes made,
Are steps towards the understanding...
Failure to repeatedly revisit to miss.
Are lessons completely misunderstood.
As to how achieving to obtain success,
Is accomplished to achieve.
And not a challenge if obstacles in one's way,
Are embraced and thought to be...
Tour guides leading,
To an awaiting pot of gold.
After one has been blindfolded and told,
Their every move to take forward...
Guarantees the wind felt blowing,
Beneath their wings.
Will lift them from a fall taken over a cliff!
