sometimes the best motivation is failure

sometimes life gives you everything

other times life will take away until there's nothing.

when you have kids you do anything,

to make sure they don't have to go needing.

but when you're best,

just isn't good enough. then the rest

just seems hopeless. and you can either,

get up and do something or lay down and suffer.

there's only so many hours in a day, in a week or in a year.

taking the time to get an education,

raised my base line. which means i can provide more for my children.

they are my most important things in my life.
