Encouragement,

I love your ways

So tender and merciful

You ought to know

I’m much more than I can show

I’m lifted to new heights every time

You challenge me

And when I listen

I can hear angels in the air

Of inspiration

Slowly defeating my will

And daring me to be stronger

I will keep pushing

 and will never

give into failure

the sun rises in my eyes

and I can see my future

being true to me

resilient to feats that meet

me at my knees

and holding onto

the pressure that exhilarates me

and keeps me pressing on

I refuse to take part in giving up
