Nowadays I struggle when I look to find

something honest and pure

To rest the mind.

There is so much I wish that I’d never have to see

Young kids who barely know how to read

Resorting to a life on the street.

When times are dark and power is corrupt

Minds are brainwashed

And some many people are stuck

In a rut

And are trying to survive

Well I don’t get down like I use to

No I pull through

And why?

*** of the spirit

The Spirit in your eye

Whenever I am lost ,I now know I can be found

And who do I have to thank?

Well you

So true.

You brought me to a higher ground

Lifted.

Endowed with a power to overcome

I feel gifted

Like I have become strong

Far from where I have been, the journey has been long.

But worth every moment

I owned it

And now living my life in better ways

I can work for the better for all

In coming days.
