Eyes On The Prize

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

I know this isnt the base for verse and poetry, but once in a while I have something that more might benefit from that would if it were in the poetry base. This is one such work

Eyes on the prize

©2010 Joanna M. Phipps

Keep your eyes on the prize

this I was told in the beginning

keep your eyes on the prize

what prize, what contest

Keep your eyes on the prize

alone, scared and confused

keep your eyes on the prize

what's happening, why me

Keep your eyes on the prize

but I dont know what Im doing

Keep your eyes on the prize

Where am I going, what am I doing

Keep your eyes on the prize

now its becoming clear

Keep your eyes on YOUR prize

the journey is yours

Keep your eyes on the prize

one foot before the other

Keep your eyes on the prize

the distance melts away

Keep your eyes on the prize

You are not alone

Keep your eyes on the prize

others are with you

Keep your eyes on the prize

some through that magic door

Keep your eyes on the prize

other at your side

With their eyes on their prize

others follow, not all to the same place

but to where they find comfort

The journey is yours, the prize your own

Do you know what your prize is

Do you know how far you need to go

When all is lost, and the hill seems to steep

reach out to those with you

Let them be your strength

your light in the darkness

your shoulder to cry on

your guide on a path uncertain

To those ahead, thank you for making the trail

to those with me, thank you for being there

to those coming behind, follow our trail but make it yours

keep your eyes on your prize, none but you knows what that is

Joanna, this is another great poem with perspective to our situation. I love to read these and remind myself what it really is I am doing and the time it takes. I clearly have my mind on the prize and just taking my time right now. Thank You

Joanna,

I like this poem. I read it a couple of times so I could fully get what the meaning is. I can relate to this so well right now at this point in my life. We really must stay focused on what the end result is, what ever it is for each of us. Well, i just wanted you to know it really touched me because it is so applicable in my situation. Thanks
