“Dear Aspirations, Although you may change Stay contemplative Help me to dream. I know my reality May send you upstream But you always come back to me You help me maintain, A Sense of wonder A faith in possiblity A fence to jump off A grounded humility When I'm lacking fulfillment And lay wrapped in defeat You say, "you are resilient" get back on your feet” PoetryHopeChangePoemPerseveranceDefeatAspirationNever Give UpResilientKim Brandon Book:Seventeen Source: Seventeen
