No matter how many times

Growing taller than before
It never gets discouraged....

but learn and use your wit

Smile and be encouraged
Because everyone makes mistakes...

We walk together every day

reminiscing on the daily family occurrence

till one day I tripped and fell.

I dwell discouraged,

Always take flight 
And lift yourself up 
Do not be discouraged 
Reach for the top
With a valiant effort 
Along with drive and ambition 
Just go for the gold
Focus and put yourself in a favorable position...

Lead you to the right path 
Continue on your journey

Do not be discouraged 
If you take a tumble and fall 
Just regain that fire 
And learn to stand up tall...

The new story can be ascertained
A position on the bookshelf is reserved
The copywriter will never be discouraged...

Like pearls , He found them special

and stores them in a vessel.

Now when I am discouraged
and when I start to cry,

I can smell a scent of Tear perfume
as Jesus passes by...

wanting to shout
but he wasn't there
she thought he didn't care
a silent scream
a bitter dream
could not cope
lost all hope
she went away
he hoped she'd stay

from the    passenger seat
she watches    life 
sliding past     out her window.
   so many u-turns
   so many deadends
   going the ‘long way’ 
   driving the ‘wrong way’
and never    quite    ever
reaching    her destination.

the poetry has disintegrated
the inner voice trembled...
The beauty flower withered
my soul cried
my heart broke
my faith got discouraged
my step lost the way

without you I am not me.,,, !...
