Reaching Beyond

Do you reach beyond to touch the sky,

or lag behind, afraid to try?

Do you reach beyond to learn anew,

or hesitate - the same old you?

Do you reach beyond to test your limit,

or do you tell yourself you are timid?

Do you reach beyond to lead the pack,

or do you waste your time looking back?

Do you reach beyond to care and share

and help some others do and dare?

Do you reach beyond, expect the best,

or have you given up the quest?

Do you reach beyond and try to soar

or, sadly, play it safe once more?
