THE STORY OF FIRSTS!
Hard work and perseverance
Dedication to dream and reverence
Acting only on their dreams,
Work hard, however simple the task seems
Grit and focus in their path
To achieve their dreams and plans
Withstanding the darts that are hurled
Making their name known to the world!
Every unforgiving minute, they filled
They filled it with their undying effort
The prize of their every blood drop
Made them reach the top
No other notion wavering,
Eyeing just their one main goal.
That set their lives in motion
That made them work with devotion
Meticulously planned work
No trace of fear for failure
Even on the tiniest idea working
Even if, for it, failure spread its wing
Not though a smooth journey it maybe
Infested with thorns, pitfalls and gins
They rose up to quench their thirst
Trying to win their battle first
Even through raging storms, undeterred
Firmly planting their feet through every gale
Toiling even in the wintry December
Later their name, the world will remember
Undaunted bu countless failures,
Their will will say to them ,"Hold on"
Only on their dream they did dwell
Saying to themselves "All is Well"
Self-acceptance and confidence
And with mind all on their path
To the weariness of body, their mind did not yield
That made them soar high in their field
When success will finally knock
The globe with praise it bursts
Hard work, perseverance and determination
All these lie behind the story of the firsts!
