The extra

        Mile

The journey of the extra mile is the most difficult road one can travel

The courageous makes the journey and the rewards are immeasurable

Leaders and pioneers define themselves by routinely going the extra mile

Just a little extra effort is all that’s needed to complete the extra mile

The journey of the extra mile everyone must travel once in a while

One is free to quit or with steely determination travel to the other side

Whenever the extra mile beckons step up and accept its invitation

Take the extra mile all in stride reach your destination with a smile

The journey of the extra mile can be a gateway or it can be a boundary

The traveler must decide if to fall by the wayside or go the extra mile

Hang in there do not be terrified by the distance of your destination

Let the extra mile become a stepping stone to unexplored horizons

The journey of the extra mile the extra effort needed is worthwhile

Find whatever it takes complete the journey and you will be surprised

Whosoever dares to completes the extra mile receives the grand prize

Like a beacon in the distance the extra mile beckons

Are you up to the challenge can you conquer the extra mile

The extra mile to success the extra mile welcomes you

With arms open wide success will welcome you

Give it a try why not go the extra mile.

On My Skates

 

On My Skates

Strapping on my skates feels great and I am off to the races

With the wind at my feet am floating to heaven’s gate

I am feeling like right now down Mt Everest I can skate

On my skates I feel like I can visit another planet

In the skating rink light as a feather am dancing to the music

Here I am in another world and it completely filled with magic

It happened the moment when my skates become my magic carpet

For my skates I have got this weakness than I just can’t resist

Strapping on my skates feeling great am off to the races

Flying like the wind leaving traces of circles in outer space

In a trance am being transported beyond the outer limits

Am in orbit my skates are the rockets of my magic carpet

In the skating rink am dancing to the music

Am in another world filled with rhythm and magic

Oh the moment when my skates become my magic carpet

Am in love air born on the object of my affection

Am in orbit my skates are my rocketing magic carpet

Being on my skates it’s magic and am reveling on it

On my skates am in orbit straight beyond the outer limits

On my skates I found magic and I am transfixed.
