SPU poetry contest #4: OVERFLOW

This is my entry to the contest

Theme: celebration

Behind the wide smile a frown lies
Of pains not seen by any but the joy heard by all
The journey from zero to hero
As tough as surviving in the desert

When the going gets tough only the tough gets going
Hope we drink to our satisfaction
Still the thirst unquenchable
Only the prize we pursue can quench this undying thirst

As the root of a tree lies underground
Day by day the struggles for the prize we bury
Water like a newly planted seed
So the growth invisible until we spring forth

Like earthquake vibrations everywhere
Overflowing impact felt
The prize no more far-fetched
Closer to our grasp than distance from the nose to the mouth

In the end the journey long but destination reached
A call for celebration i must say
Because the road to success is filled with potholes
And only those who hold on tight get there first

Truth

Because the road to success is filled with potholes
And only those who hold on tight get there first

Only those who keep their eyes on the goal and remain undaunted....
