Goal

A goal is what you want in life
where you want to be.
Your dream, hope and desire
your lifelong eternity.
Everyone should have one
and it should be written down
for without a goal in your mind
what's the point of being around.
In your life journey
you laugh, cry and beam
but this is what is expected
as you fulfill your dream.
So when an obstacle arises
don't give up your aim and hide
jump over it, go under it
or simply push it aside.
