All She’s Got

Here’s a little poem I wrote for Connie, my stepmom.  I’m sharing it here because I want it to generate as much positive energy as possible so it can all bounce back to her.  She could use the boost these days, I think.

All You’ve Got

Keep it rolling - don’t you let that engine falter
Just keep rolling - this time you’ll nail it to the altar
Rolling forward - throw your weight into the halter
To the pillars of Gibraltar
Now it’s forward that you’ll roll.

Keep on pushing - till your sinew turns to granite
Push it forward - till you split the pomegranate
Don’t stop pushing - you can change the course of planets
Your inferno’s lit so fan it
For it’s forward you must push.

You are a flaming arrow and the world’s a bale of hay
You’re a bunker buster and the world is bombs away
It’s the universal story of the power and the glory
You’re the infinite quiescence when there’s nothing left to say

Don’t stop trying - though your fingers shake and fumble
Keep on trying - though your voice is just a mumble
One more try now - though the trail makes you stumble
Your resolve will never crumble
When you give it all you’ve got.
