Just Do It

It bothered my heart and disturbed my peace My joy was stolen and all that I depended on failed My hands ceased to work and my feat froze Defeat and demotion and discouragement prodded on. Everything around have gone the other way Nothing had remained in its place Nothing to hold on to because all had failed I would not do anything because I did not trust my strength Who would help my helplessness? Nobody would come and rescue me Everybody had faced their vocation and calling I have been left all to myself I will rise if I would stand I have held myself to the ground so long My head should hear my heart And lift my feet until I stand My feet should hear my head and stand Lifting the whole body and working with my hand Until my whole strength is restored And then I could do what I should do.
