When Will resigns and Desire’s unstirred,<br>
How can it fly- the apathetic bird?<br>
Would, in the wild, the Lion be tagged ‘King’<br>
If fear’s its best against crises that spring?
<p>‘Tis for wonders man’s subtle brain was made,<br>
Why let mere shyness be sheath for its blade?<br>
See how the Sun raptly donates its rays,<br>
Show your skills and brighten your coming days!</p>
<p>For closed mouths never savor victory,<br>
Neither do folded arms keep the trophy;<br>
So you should leave your shell and climb the rock,<br>
Kill the booming volume of Failure’s mock.</p>
<p>Prepare your wings to explore the rich sky;<br>
Graze the top whereon overcomers cry;<br>
Your gift is a tool for building your dream<br>
Into reality; let’s see its steam!</p></div>
