Will Power

WILL POWER
                                                          
     Just success and happiness cannot adorn 
     lattice of life in clusters of blossoms at morn.
     By turn sorrow and failure appear to mourn  
    as feral weeds and creepers with sharp spiked thorn.

    It is up to your willpower how to deal!
    not to succumb in despair but to heal
    the wound, or malicious attack to kill.
    Proceed brave with erect head in zest and zeal

    Life is a challenge to struggle every day.
    Strife and conflicts running parallel to play.
   Shadows of clouds embower but glazing sunray
    When there is a will, there must exist a way.
