Defying The Odds Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Defying the odds.
Winning to get attention,
After being kicked to the curb...
Is an awesome feeling one deserves.

Faith and promise with hard work,
Motivates a determination.
Taking initiative proves its worth.
And one who sweats gets what's best.

Defying the odds.
Winning to get attention,
After being kicked to the curb...
Is an awesome feeling one deserves.

And those naysayers,
With their bitter bittened lips...
Appear more embarrassed,
By the spreading of their negative gossip quipped.

Faith and promise with hard work,
Motivates a determination.
Taking initiative proves its worth.
And one who sweats gets what's best.

Defying the odds.
Winning to get attention,
After being kicked to the curb...
Is an awesome feeling one deserves.
