The Quest

The constant pursuit to sharpen the mind

I yearn for the knowledge

  Hunger for the truth

I spurn for the privilege 

  To learn from my youth

I thirst for the power

  The will and control

To intellectually devour

  Like food for the soul

To learn from mistakes

  Requires full dedication

For there are no retakes

  Often a difficult education 

So often we ignore the past,

    The elder and mature

Present is not meant to last

   Hear their wisdom , I implore

History repeats itself

  A fact both tried and true

So make a change within yourself

  For change begins with you

Within each of us burns

  The will to prosper and thrive

With all the twists and turns

   We are blessed to be alive

While in this grand pursuit

   On this voyage to be our best

To bear our finest fruit

   Should be our final quest...
