Life’s challenges have been teachers for me,

Revealing powers that I did not see.

It began with the challenge, ‘Don’t bother.’

But a voice inside was like my father.

Not enough will or talent they assumed.

If I accepted their word, life was doomed.

Instead, I took a step into the dark,

And to their great surprise, I hit the mark.
