The Theft of Your Potential Remains In the Future

It is Never Too Late to Be What You Were Born to Be You are a creature of purpose Therefore empower yourself with what is already yours! Passion and the power of your vision Can be displayed in your life All you need is that decision and You can enhance the precision in your life. Procrastination might be wrong! In this century Now is the time to live strong Accumulate the thoughts you have left behind Because the theft of your potential remains in the future. Do not let the cemetery rob you of your potential Fulfillment of your purpose is essential to your life so This matter of persistence is certainly not inconsequential. Believe in the steps of time or else The crime of procrastination will follow and You will live a shallow life The theft of your potential remains in the future Therefore empower yourself with what is already yours! It is never too late to be what you were born to be. Mark Frank Copyright 2023

An encouraging poem, Mark. I like a positive poem with a bit of warning to encourage those that haven't discovered their drive yet. Good advice. Thanks for sharing your poetry with us, and congratulations on your POTD. Enjoy your special day of recognition. Bill

I like your poem Mark, but it worries me. If we all became what we were born to be, and no one was born to be a garbage collector or sanitary worker, who would do those jobs ? .. Still you provided me with a seed to ponder. Well done congrats on POTD.
