You Can Do It

You have seen life being pleasant to you,
And you have seen it being nasty too.
Which course it will take is unto you,
Stark black or bright blue.

Honor yourself for whatever course you take,
Respect yourself for all the decisions you make.

It's yet hard to survive or think ahead now,
But have faith in yourself,
And you'll make it through somehow.

No one can give your life back to you,
But faith in yourself,
That you'll swim to the shore in a rough sea too.

In your engrossment over your bad luck,
You are failing to see the light,
Which can dawn upon you,
From your own insight.

God told you that He's with you in every way of life,
But you found yourself all alone to fight and to strive.
When you complained to Him, He said;
The one pair of foot prints, which you saw as yours along the shore,
Were of mine and mine alone,
Because all through your hardships and troubles i was carrying you. 


FOR ALL THE DISHEARTENED PEOPLE.

ZEHRA. ABBAS

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist, and I'd love to help bring your story to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@ akiraa_artly

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
