Poems (Rumell)/True ambition
TRUE AMBITION.
I am just a little tempted, to vain regret and tears.Begin to feel the pressure of the past, and coming years.To see the opportunities, strewn, in the past, in my way,That I fain would grasp and fulfill, now, in my latter day.
What are riches and jewels, what are houses and land,If fondest hope of the heart, is bound with the hand?Oh what pain and deep grief, to live in repression,When every fiber of your being, crys for expression!
There should be no wall too high, no gulf too deep,There should be no valley too dark, no hill too steep,To deter that soul, spurred by true ambition,To bring the gift God gave it, to full fruition!
