POETRY Look how far you have come

BY EMI TROST

You are focused and driven Eyes on the prize Always moving Ahead forward In your striving Remember How far you have come.

Overwhelmed in the journey The end goal eludes Your grasp Wishing ahead But in your pursuit Don’t forget how far you have come.

You are here now better Than yesterday Always improving Ahead day by day In your pressing Look back and see How far you have come.

When a setback halts Your moving along Down the path You thought you’d Be on guard And reflect on How far you have come.

Two steps forward One step back Still moves you Ahead closer Slowly but surely Realize just How far you have come. Of being is where You are called To be growing Thriving in How far you have come.

When the unknown haunts you Think back those days In the past reminders Towers footprints Along the journey Marking progress of How far you have come.

In your quest for the gold Don’t hurry along Getting there is Growing learning to Be planted strong And ponder How far you have come.
