Definitely Determined
"...... define the moment or the moment will define you."
-Walt Whitman
Driven to succeed, dare now to achieve
Desire for accomplishment’s blessing flow
Determined against trials, to God… cleave
Delight yourself amidst fulfillment glow.
Dreams toward victory can start today
Do maximize chances with all your might*
Depend on the Lord Who guides through the way
Doubt not His Word that teaches what is right.
Direct your steps this moment forward
Dismount from confusion-ride for faith’s fly
Define clearly role as Christian steward
Demands of work …meet…despite hardship’s sigh.
Destined to win along the Saviour’s side
Decide for optimized triumphant bliss
Distinguish yourself with finisher-pride
Duty … keep on minding from heart’s abyss.
*Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
Didactic in quatrain with alliteration
