With Challenges, Life Is Bittersweet

WITH CHALLENGES, LIFE IS BITTERSWEET 

Please, mention his name?
I mean that man, yeah, 
Who has no difficulty 
That's challenging his life.

Where's he? 
I mean that man, yeah, 
That leads his life, 
Without having issues,
Confronting him.  

The powerful, the rich, the priests 
Are not without theirs, even  more
Confronting them or they confront daily
Adversity brings comfort, satisfaction 
The only man without challenges had gone since

Tell that man,
That's free of it,
Tell that man,
That's facing it,
Not to give up 
Challenge is not a curse
Life is bittersweet. 
Difficult morning, comfortable night 

Every greatman had faced,
And had conquered theirs,
Of different nature, measures,
With faith, with hope, they won. 

A man without a challenge,
Call him an impostor, fake, 
That can't define his existence,
Thus, let's hope for a challenge,
In humility, prayer, action its solution lies 
With faith and efforts we overcome 

Challenges faced, 
Challenges conquered,
Achievements recorded,
Existence valued, measured,
Target set, Hope got,  renewed, 
Life redefined, Goal accomplished,
And our living be well acknowledged.

Not all challenges are bad 
Though some make, others mar
Whether it would be conquered or not 
Attempts must be made 


Challenge is a pointer that,
Fired unexampled discovery,
Worthy knowledge, experience 
Towards attaining greatness.

Only a fool,
Makes mockery,
Of those facing challenges,
Not knowing his already standing 
At his threshold struggling to open the door

Once a challenge is overcome 
Another may resurface
 Like the moon at sunset 
Life itself is a challenge
That's how we continue to live
Till the Omega closes the gate.
