The Vision of a Young Boy
Amid the chaos of the world outside
The young boy's heart beat with a restless tide
Aspiring for greatness beyond the norm
But his path to purpose was often forlorn
He tried his hand at many things
Exploring the world on wings
From science to commerce, to tech and more
He sought a calling unlike any before
Days turned to weeks, weeks turned to years
As he searched for his purpose among his peers
But the light he chased remained just out of sight
All he saw was a tunnel, deep and infinite
At twenty-five he stopped to reflect
And take stock of his past, with introspect
He saw the muddled mess of his prior ventures
And started to ponder and rearrange his textures
He knew not what lay ahead
But he knew what lay behind instead
And so he made a conscious choice
To live with intent and a clear sense of voice
One step at a time, he began to walk
Towards the shadows and the light they begot
Mistakes were made and lessons were learned
And slowly but surely, the embers burned
Fuelled by his newfound intent
The light that once escaped him started to relent
And out of the abyss, a vision took shape
That of a man who could bend fate
Through the veil of uncertainty
The boy saw his purpose finally
And with that vision in his eyes
He tackled obstacles and soared through the skies
At thirty years, he'd come so far
To find his calling, his North Star
With every stride and every leap
His impact on the world began to seep
Now, he looks to the skies with hope
Wielding his vision as an unbreakable rope
For this boy, once lost, is now found
His purpose concrete, his destiny sound
And though his journey still has miles to go
He strides with determination, full of glow
For he's seen the world through a different lens
And knows his vision will take him to the ends.
