Though obstacles may wait, if you choose to swim against the current
You must frequently leap out of the water to make true progress

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thanks for sharing this reminder. It's difficult to swim against the current like the salmon, but it is definitely worth it. Take care and stay safe. Enjoy your weekend. :-)
