Potential Energy


There's a young man who hopes and dreams He'll become that successful engineer, Even though right now it seems Such a life is nowhere near. There's a young lady who visualizes The ecstasy of tremendous success, Though now she is ostracized By peers who disapprove of her dress. I really think it's funny how The "nerds" and "dorks" who take verbal beatings Soon leave all of us saying, "Wow," And find themselves to be leading. It's always the oddball, The one who's often left alone That ends up rising above all To a pedastal solid as stone. Now they regret taunting little Bobby For his lofty ambitions, Because now he's directing a business On a clear and reachable mission. Everyone mocked young Susan For her proud professions, But now her career as a leading designer Has taught them all a lesson. As unique human beings, we cannot afford To fail to realize the power of planning, For the idea that's often ignored Can bring a rocky journey to a smooth landing. We also must become aware of the fact That all of our voices matter. If we do not proceed to act, Great visions will shatter! There's a thing that lies within all of us. I call it "potential energy." Its activation is a must If we desire to execute brilliantly. So do not leave this Earth Without fulfilling your purpose You are of unimaginable worth Let your greatness surface! When that is done, I promise you will not regret it. The battle has been won; Your potential has become kinetic.
