Something Greater
Something Greater
She took one step forward, then one step back.
She went way off track.
She lost sight of the goal.
Misplaced her very own role.
When push came to shove,
and hate emerged from love,
She chose to rise above.
She chose honor over shame.
Life would never be the same.
One day at a time became an arduous mountain climb.
Nothing was clear.
The illusion began to disappear.
However, hope had its foot in the door.
Hope lifted her off the floor.
Gave her something more.
Torn.
Forlorn.
That was no way to live.
She had something greater to give.
She figured out what life is about.
Nothing easy.
Nothing nice.
Play it once.
Play it twice.
Search yourself and get it right.
