The prize


from the ABC set Me, you & my world

Are you brave, are you strong?
Will you help someone along?
We all have to challenge us,
to win ourselves a prize.

Do you gamble, do you risk?
Will you slip another disk?
Those are weak of the body,
need strength of the mind.

Can you see the other rivals,
all struggling to their goals?
Will you pull one from despair
and donate to helping them along?

What a horrible competition
we all get lucky-drawn in,
what stupid rules and values,
can anyone ever truly win?

'& ' ?

Not sure this is suitable for poetry such as this... great rhythm, though you might find it helpful to use a dictionary to check a few of your spellings before posting,

O Im sorry about my spelling,I will go through and recheck this, also I am always using the symbol when I write or type and a lot of people think it is wrong I just have to remind myself, so thank-you Jennifer.
