I'll not let you beat me;
there's nothing you can do.
No force could be imposed on me
that would see me succumb to you.

No obstacle you throw at me
will block my path for long.
I'll simply find another way;
my desire's far too strong.

No winds could blow me hard enough,
to drive me off my course.
Yours could never hope to match,
that of my driving force.

No waves or raging torrents,
you might muster, will ever sweep.
Me from this path I've chosen,
or all it is I seek.

So to you, I welcome your challenges,
each one that you may throw.
They only serve to strengthen me
and with everyone, I'll grow.

* W.A. Simmons
