To those with confidence,
\n\u00a0 And hopes so sweet;
\n\u00a0 The future is a challenge,
\n\u00a0 Laid at your feet.<\/p>\n

Look to a horizon,
\n\u00a0 To collect success complete;
\n\u00a0 Where heart, mind and soul,
\n\u00a0 Have hopes so sweet<\/p>\n

For your mind and your soul,
\n\u00a0 The journey is not far;
\n\u00a0 For they have the wings,
\n\u00a0 To reach any star.<\/p>\n

But our heart
\n\u00a0 Must depend on our feet;
\n\u00a0 And talent – and confidence,
\n\u00a0 That don\u2019t always meet.<\/p>\n

There is a journey,
\n\u00a0 Called life complete;
\n\u00a0 Needing talent and confidence,
\n\u00a0 And willing feet.<\/p>\n

There is a horizon,
\n\u00a0 With dreams complete;
\n\u00a0 That every heart longs,
\n\u00a0 For hopes so sweet.<\/p>\n
