A Poem by Rachel Ann Bovier For July 2020

Willpower"

The life that you live

Has to do with yourself

And if you don't give it all

It'll end up on a shelf.

Yes, things sometimes falter

And don't go your way.

But don't let it be the reason

That you give up today

Just get back on your feet

And try it once more

And even if you ache

Be stronger than before

Cause when it seems hopeless

And you've done all you can

That is the time

To take another stand …

And do it again

And do it again

And do it again

And do it again

Rachel Ann Bovier
