Every Obstacle

Climb the proverbial wall of China, each stone hold, propelling you higher

Swim the Nile River, engorged, dodging its ravenous crocodile hoard

Transverse the gaping Grand Canyon with a tightrope walker’s grace

Base jump the Eiffel Tower staring at the ground in its face

Run hard in Pamplona, YOU are the bull stampeding down the clown and fool

Take every obstacle and make it your tool

Charge hard and furious, your only rule

The obstacle becomes brick & mortar, paper & pen

As you define and rebuild yourself again

Each new path and course diverge

Grow, expand, cultivate your course

Perseverance propels with an indomitable force

Guiding your path, steering your course

Clothed in unwavering will, each new day

Never founder, blessed by grace, as I slay EVERY obstacle in my way
