Dear Everyone:
This poem is written in honour of
my 2 nephews. They strive hard
academically and work just as hard
at their running.
AMBITION
Your ambition flows out of you
Bubbling over in its intensity
Don't burn out in youth
Save a bit in reserve
Was it your parents' expectations
of you
Perhaps that of your mentors
Hold back the slightest amount
In my version, the turtle finishes
the race the hare does not
Admiration is tempered with worry
Helen.
