I would have to strive!

Someone once told me,
The many truths of my life,
That it won’t be easy,
I would have to strive.

Stubborn and ignorant,
I wasn’t willing to hear,
“I swear to God that it is true,
Believe me, my dear.”

Even though I knew,
That partly she was right,
But stubbornness took hold of me,
And against HIM I would fight.

She said, “You can never fight him,
Or change your own destiny,
Because it had been written and read,
Surrender, and let it be.

How could I let go,
The visions I once had,
The more I thought of it,
The more it made me sad.

All my hopes and dreams,
Will be shattered and torn,
The happy life that I’m longing for,
Would all be gone.

But then I realized,
That this might not be true,
Has she ever met God?
I knew I haven’t, have you?

And so I’ve made up my mind,
To lead my own life,
Though I’ve been warned and threatened,
I would have to strive.

Things that happen tomorrow,
No one will ever know,
Just let them surprise you,
Accept and then let go.


3 years have now passed,
Though some turned out to be true,
But stubborn, as I’ve always had,
I will still fight you.

Like they all said,
When all doors are closed upon you,
God will leave an open window,
For you to get through.

The journey ahead of me,
Will be a long, hard drive,
I know it won’t be easy, but,
I would have to strive!
