The Rock

Petra Yaw 1979 (Linden)



If only someone, somewhere will take a chance
A chance on someone, be it near or far
As far as they dream, as far as they wish
A wish of the impossible to soar
To soar beyond the imagination of limitations
Limitations place by fears
Fear of negativity, place in their minds by families, friends or foes
Made by Envy
Envious minds and wicked plots
Plots by many who see their potential
Potential of what can be done if given the chance
The chance to win
The chance to prosper
The chance to survive
The chance to help
And above all the chance to make a CHANGE.
