Chalky Dream
Cloudy and white
Yet still in sight,
Five colored rings,
Shine a light.
“Hard work will get you there”
They all say
But how can they be sure?
Because this goal is not obscure.
It’s a chalky dream,
Cloudy and white
That may hold a future so bright.
But when timing seems right
And you feel at a prime
You just may find
Hard work
will not be enough this time.
