Idle Thoughts

Idle Thoughts

In to each life, a little rain must fall.
One thing for certain, it happens to us all!	
There’s no escape, it’s just time to pause,
Take two steps backward, it’s a wake-up call!

Don’t take life for granted, pay attention to the signs,
Follow your first thoughts, its’ a matter of time!
Let not others, distract you from your goal,
Put your best foot forward, and maintain self-control!

Take solace in the fact, things come to those who wait,
Often, those who finishes first, are last out the gate!
Success is in your grasp, just a stone throw away,
Patience is a virtue, when you take time out to pray!
