Why Can't You See

Why can't you see......
That the sacrifices of today,
Are the sowed seeds and hope of tomorrow's bountiful harvest; 
That the pain and suffering invested in today,
Will spring forth the Sunny days of the future?

Why can't you see......
That the sacrifices borne out of the rejections 
Tribulations, trepidations of today,
May well be the trajectory and springboards 
Of opportunities embedded in life's journey?

Why can't you see.......

That the disappointments of life 
Are sometimes the tonic needed to catapult you 
To the lofty heights of your dreams.....?

Why can't you see.......
That tomorrow is pregnant;
That every morning is a rebirth and a gift
To make the future better than your fortune today?

Why can't you see........
The beauty which lies within;
The fortunes and the treasures 
Which decades of neglect and disbelief in your abilities has occasioned?

Why can't you see......?
