Echoing from the rooftop
Over a life of potentiality,
A bellowing cry of
Excellence is heard.
Always different,
Always the same,
As do we all
In life pertain.
A staple
Of hope and majesty,
Undoubtfully living
A life of triumph.
Under strain
And sorrow life pushes
A boulder thought unbreakable
Until it meets its match.
Indestructable rock
Is shattered by greatness,
And now,
Onward!
A victory won
In a war just begun,
An altered life now reaching out
Into the unknown.
