He was blessed and thankful Sadden his own people opposed him Against him he was not one of them He refused to do their corrupt biding Thankful for the opportunities A change to finish all those projects Get them done set new goals Finally get a win after a dew losses A clear path after so many obstacles Overwhelming detours and set backs Asking what he wanted to do next What's needed so he could be happy Putting himself first for once Years of waiting feeling devalued Thinking they'd come back start over False hope for failed ends a redo Hope of an alternative the outcome Why can't it happen he asked Use to things not meant to be The haunting past fading triumphs Focused on a promising future New encounters with personal growth Prepared for a new promising journey
