Always a Champion

I was born into a whole wide world With feeble limbs and simple mind At entrance, I could feel the heat Suggesting another world different from where I was Opening my eyes, I could see the faces of warriors With hands to battle though with smiling faces I could feel a great burden on me I knew it was time to face my destiny It kept ringing on my mind you are a champion, born to win With my guardians, I began to learn Took a step, one after the other When I fell, I rose to walk, limp or do both Muttered what I have to say hoping to communicate I began to advance in height and knowledge With great sensitivity to my environment I felt love and hatred, brutality and friendship I heard lies and deception, sincerity and truth I saw light and darkness, day and night I learned the right from wrong but found it difficult to do the right Because the system was stuffed with evil Since the nature could not accommodate vacuum I chose the right because I knew my destiny I chose to profess the truth despite the challenges faced The opposition was great that I had to remind myself of my destiny Born to war, destined to conquer and win Always a champion stamped from above (c) 2010
