There's no way that I can achieve perfection
Somewhere along the way I will stumble
I will fall short of expectation, I will fail
I will disappoint myself and others
I will concede defeat, but, momentarily I hope
There is a THIN line between surrender and submission
The determination to rise once again
I will get tired, discouraged and disheartened
BUT never lose the will to fight, gather the strength to emerge, and move on from a failure
It takes courage to stop fretting and moaning a lost battle
Resolute look ahead to better days that is yet to come
I believe that agony will not last forever
It is just a matter of perspective, of looking at situations
I have learned how to make do of what is left
Believing that something better is in store for me
And just for this moment when the tides are high and I feel stifled by uncertainties and fear
I will hold on to that faith that everything will come to pass
After all the tears that have been shed, significant lessons were learned
Waves of trouble will ebb, the sea of life will be calmed again
As if nothing happened, as if no storm has come to ravage
KEEP BELIEVING, I WILL RIDE HIGH, THE BEST IS YET TO BE!
