They All Tried


When you look back at history you notice certain patterns

How people fought for rights or did things that mattered

MLK said he had a dream

Some stated what they believed

 

But overall they all shared one thing

Determination

Even through all the frustration 

Those people who changed the world had a type of motivation

Motivated by life itself to breach into the world

Not even seeking the riches of diamonds and pearls

Michael Jordan didn't give up after being cut from the team

Because he showed that his determination was keen

Anyone successful has failed greatly at one point and no doubt cried

But the one key thing is... They all tried.
