This was my first and my favorite...
The Struggle
Always reaching, striving;
You stand here frozen in time
trying to reach up to a higher power;
but you always fall short of your glorious goal.
The seasons strip you of your beauty,
But you still strive for that goal you once set.
Your arms are twisting and have cracked from
Your long and arduous journey.
Always reaching, striving to be something better.
But you always fall short of you goal;
Your arms have grown weary from the work,
But still you never give up the hope
that has brought you to thise place, here in time,
Your goals are great and admirable
But you are rooted in this plane,
this world, that overlooks your otherworldly beauty.
You are not appreciated enough
But you cast aside the judgements of this world
Your goal is your life.
And in striving to reach it you transcend
your lot in this life.
There, frozen in time, your arms facing
the God who created you.
