Steep Hill of Ambition

The steep hill of ambition, is paved with those failed tasks
The intention, and the hope, and all the other asks
The things that we were wont to do, but never did get done
Just because without belief, our success rate would be none

That is where the sadness is, the why I did not do
To be honest I don't know, I don't really have a clue
I have tried the lets be diligent, would we then succeed
But was I really serious, did I actually believe

Believing is the motive, the impetus and fuel
If you don't agree with that, you are nothing but a fool
Believing in a project, is half the task complete
The other half the easy part, accomplishing the feat

So when someone tells you, of the failures that they've had
How things looked so very good, and then they turned to bad
Tell them to be positive,  but still take a lot of care
Assure  them that if they believe, then they are halfway there

Wonderful... I put all my trust in Jesus, who I believe gets me all the way there all the time. I love your ballad, dear friend. Bless you, Gina
