A Gift


To compete and be the best is what people fight for.
 To teach is what I yearn for.
 To make a difference is the goal of my life.
 To inspire others I believe is my light.
 A tool to keep the darkness away,
 I use poetry to direct the evil astray. 
 The sole purpose is not to gain popularity,
 The sole purpose is to show prosperity.
 A gift that we must take,
 A gift that I hope to give.
 To touch others lives, 
 To show that they can live.
