In every step you take the distance increases;
Though you reach the milestones you never finish your course;
Till you drop down and nature takes its course with life.
Others as they review the episodes of life,
Will say volumes to an extend of exaggerating,
When you can’t even answer back that it ain’t so.
Every round you take higher, goes higher
Such that you can’t help but always pause
Because it is not easy to climb to the summit
Others fall on the way, without reaching their goals
Others give up the towel
because they can’t take it to face the challenge
Others simply remain camping at the base of the mountain of life
Since they do not believe that they need to face the challenge
Few ultimately reach their milestone of the summit
And everyone cheers, but they have to come back to start afresh the next year
Till they too give up and the mountain win at last.
We all have courses to finish and summits to climb
We all have milestones to finish
We all have great moments and bad ones too
We all have challenges to conquer
We all have to go through pains and sufferings
We all have to suffer loss and sadness
We all have to fail in order to win
We all have to face some defeat some day
We all have to get some plenty and sometimes not have enough
This is the food we all have to eat, such is the destiny of all humanity
When its your turn to face those unpleasant moments in your milestone
Remember all are not immune to what you are going through
You will need to deep, deep beyond material
And not just remain on the periphery of your soul
You have to breakthrough the barriers of your spirituality
To access the faith in whatever seems to be beyond grasp
Though sometimes there’ll be nothing tangible to prove
Though life cannot be reversed, nor scars removed
Though the impressions will forever remain for those watching to comment
You would have completed your race
Remember, life cannot be measured by what others decide in their minds
Perceptions about you may influence your decisions but not your destiny
You have to decide your final destination, and be responsible
You have to account for your destination and not to shift the blame
At the end the buck stops with you and nobody else
You may say it aint so simple, sure it aint
However, everybody needs to have their share of the cake of life
Everybody have their burdens to carry
Everybody have their dull moments and episodes of nightmare
Sometimes life is even cut short while everybody had high hopes
Because it is not about what we see, and what everybody hopes
It is all about your faith that will matter after all ends
When the chapters of your life folds, the legacy that you live behind should be faith
We all need faith that will keep us going when the going gets tough
We all need faith that will help us to brave the storms of life and take the beating
We all need faith to anchor us when things fall apart
We all need faith when all around we face the devastations of nature
We all need faith when we lose our beloved ones
We all need faith to help us raise ourselves from dust,
clean ourselves up, raise our chest with pride, lift our chins and walk on with confidence
We all need faith to live with hope and also die with confidence for our beliefs
When we win faith kept us focused, when we lose faith lift us up
When everything is over, everybody who followed the episodes of our lives will ultimately confess
That thanks be to God! Praise be to God, this one fell down holding the beacon of faith
All those that fall asleep holding faith, they will at the appointed time rise through faith
It’s all about faith!
Do you have faith?
