A Dedication

To give one's heart and soul and mind
To something greater than one's own
To strive for something more divine
To never give up, no matter the stone

To be dedicated to a cause
To never waver, even when it's hard
To keep your eye on the prize, no matter the odds
To never give up, no matter the cost

To be dedicated to your craft
To never stop learning, no matter the age
To always strive for excellence
To never settle for anything less

To be dedicated to your loved ones
To always be there for them, no matter what
To put their needs before your own
To never take them for granted

To be dedicated to your present self
To always be working to improve
To never give up on your dreams
To never stop growing

To be dedicated to your future self
To always be planning ahead
To never take anything for granted
To always be striving for more

This is dedication...
