The Climb

Big, bright, wide eyes. These are the future kings

And queens of the universe, if they choose

To exercise the power learning brings

To bear. To find a way to make great use

Of all the information set before

Those wide, bright eyes. There is no way to stop

A motivated climber yearning for

A way upward, to reach the mountaintop

Of his—or her— personal realm. They’ll learn

That the only obstacle is the one

They think they can’t overcome. But to earn

That hard-fought prize, to know that they have won

All they desire, they will have to believe

That they can. Only then will they achieve.
