Try Again

 

Each time you try again

The obscurity becomes clearer

Cracks begin to appear in the colossus

The impossible no longer seems impossible

It begins to settle deep down that it is possible

The Spirit Inside

 

When the spirit, the pillar of strength,

 stands resolute and unassailable

And the will, burning like a flame of fire,

 is absolute and indomitable

Backed by a conviction that stands 

 strong and steadfast

And fueling it all is a motivation

 deep and consummate

The army of challenges simply melts away

The wall of mountains simply gives way

Stay the Course

 

It is at that moment when thunder roars

In the dark sky, and the flash flood rages

And the earthquake rumbles and grumbles

That the realization sinks deep down

How wise and sensible it was that years ago

While planning and building the house

The foundation got devoted attention

Sacrifices were made to build it strong

Knowing that every drop of sweat was a must
