Strength In The Thrill

This peom is about digging in deep to find what it takes to reach your true potential in whatever it is you want to be good at. It's about learning and doing what it takes to succeed! (Picture of my friend Dave Armstrong doing a daffy off a cliff at Sundance)

Strength In The Thrill

Srength is the question
I want to ask
Where do you get it
How long will it last

It comes from the soul
The heart and the will
The only time you feel it
Is during the thrill

The thrill is the pain
As you daffy off a cliff
But it's the strength inside
That saves you from the biff

The thrill is the excitement
As you receive the gold
You had the strength
When the water was cold

The thrill is the freefall
Where your stomach turns
You will need the strength
As soon as it burns

One more thing
Before I leave
Always have the strength…
The strength to SUCCEED
