Of Dust and Dreams
A champion cutting horse not only requires years of training but also generations of proper breeding.
Click here to see the creation process of this sculpture in a step by step illustration. |
Working on a dream though the dust might blind your eyes, many hours of sweating countless futile tries.
Seems at times the reigns and bridle are fastened to your heart, tugging past the disappointment and the trials that have their part,
In forming both the challenge and the victory as well trials are truly teachers though in training you can't tell.
Much sweeter are the victories that don't come on silver platters, for when the dust has settled it's character that matters.
Character is formed when you keep on in the test, it's how you handle striving that forms in us the best.
The test results are children what you've passed on to your seed. Simply dust and dreams? or the example that they need.
