Devine Direction

Whereas I walk, other men run.
Whereas I fall, other men stand.
Whereas I fail, other men succeed.
Whereas I dream, other men, live.

As I crumble to the ground, I cry out to God
and a revelation takes over me
and now I see the true direction.

Whereas other men run,
I walk, but to enjoy the beauty around me.
Whereas other men stand,
I fall, but to learn supreme balance.
Whereas other men succeed,
I fail, but to build inner strength.
Whereas other men live,
I dream, but to have eternal life.

Very nice, Christina; many people want an easy life but it is through hardships that we evolve. Love the way you turned our heads around to your point of view. Welcome to the soup.
