Here I'Ll Rise

Footsteps fall gently on the side walk People going here and fro Passing the time here below Watching and waiting The second hand ticks on Pushing and fighting New changes come Crying and dying The carousel moves on On and on it goes again On and on this day never ends It’s like we’re stuck on repeat Too proud to admit defeat I can watch the walls fall Watch them crumble down Dreams lying on the ground Watch myself lose it all Sinking slowly Broken and lonely And the carousel moves on Relentlessly going on When life ends and hopes dashes Sitting at the edge of my demise Coming out of the ashes Its here I’ll rise

Kimberly, carousel of life never stops. In this fair of Eternity, we lose ourselves in the crowd to discover ourselves. This is God's design. This is a wonderful poem. Love XXX rajat
