- Always Keep Pushing Forward -

    ~ The path of life is an inspiration - focus on the possibilities ~
                                      Quote by poet

    The challenges step by step
    Determination, an expression of will
    Even though the cold roams
    with its biting fangs

    Steadfast step
    Fearlessness, flowing through the heart
    with fervor and zeal
    Invincible source of power,
    as hungry dandelions

    Strikes of sunshine,
    heavy downpour
    A symphony of hope, growing and learning
    - journey of life is a chance to be brave
