Reaching Up

Life is a challenge, a test.
We all have our dreams & tries to do our best.
Reaching up is not always a comfort,
It needs time, energy, & effort.

We may fail sometimes,
But giving up is also a crime.
Along the way there might be mistakes that we commit,
But I tell you now don't ever quit.

Reaching up to touch the sky.
Growing our wings & ready to fly.
Feeling the breeze on our complexion.
Sharing the moment of our elation.

We have our own ways toward success,
Different strategies like a game of chess.
But there's always a common foundation,
That is of course, knowledge & education.
