Prompt 4: Take a quote (funny, inspirational, insightful... it's up to you) and turn it into a poem. Please include the quote and who it's by at the bottom of your item. ~ Poetry

Living’s required, success is not, just try
Give your all for God, family, and this land

At day’s end, you may live or you may die
Leaving only mere footprints in the sand

That is all that will be your legacy
To do or die for God, country, then man

Freedom, sweet freedom, how I long for thee
Whether in battle or on bended knee.


“God doesn't require us to succeed; He only requires that you try.”
― Mother Teresa
[w.c.65]
