Navigating Through Life High Way

Navigating Through Life’s High Way

                       Truth, honesty, diligence, discipline
                        and righteousness 
                        are bubbling in my blood.

                   I am knocked, hit, hurt on way of life.
                        Yet I run fast non stop 
          through deceit, ingratitude, failure, hate, malice, betrayal.

                       When I access success,
                        I feel proud but never be loud
                          but proceed and progress
                             on modest step.
     
                        I endure failure
                       but overcome despondency 
                         and rise above it.

                        Ripples in river of romance giggle.
                            Grief of lost love to sigh.
                         Yet I honour my ardent amour
                             whether in glamour or to die.

              I watch, appreciate, criticize my own journey,
                  being unbiased indifferent to myself.  
                   I am a lone fighter holding no complaint.       
                  I navigate my life in highway with open mind.
