Arise
Arise anew, inspired by the miracle of breath freely given
and by the rhythmic beat of the heart,
A better today, let your hearts be driven
Leaving yesterday’s
failings but a distant memory forgotten.
From the rubble life has placed before you arise,
Forging ahead , amidst life’s roses and thorns
From the shackles of negativity and bitterness arise,
Emerging stronger still, for at your voyage end, sweet
reward lies.
Dare to climb every mountain, every path less traveled may
you never fear to tread
For it is the very strength within you that propels your
dreams to flight.
With the strong arms of faith, lift the oars of your journey
and arise
Charting the course on which your destiny lies arise.
If perchance the storms of life attempts to capsize your course,
You shall stand firm continually rising above each turbulent
wave
Until at last, rooted in triumph you shall withstand nature’s
force,
Because you dared to rise.
