Stand, Not Fall

We all have goals, pursue them
Wherever the place, arrive
Time is never on your side
Things happen, knowing not why
Crescendo always subsiding
Our lives keep on dividing
Without pause, always carry on
To listen, you hear it all
Take heed; stand, not fall

Inspiring poem. I needed this today too. Big day today. Lots to do. My favourite line, a simple yet deepening statement, "Wherever the place, arrive Time is never on your side."
