Yet Ahead

--- --- ---

We have no need 

To live our days 

With heads slunk down our chests, 

Our hands within our pocket caves, 

And eyes downcast upon the road. 

Look up! Look up!

Potential waits for those who seek it out, 

And hearts submerged in gratitude

Will open eyes that see it now,

Though sweat and dust upon the brow,

Their quiver stocked with arrows yet to fly,

Invested in the journey yet ahead.
