A BELIEVER'S FAILURE

from www.ronedmondson.com

Tears flowed down on my cheeks

As I watched my sheet with a red stained ink

Alas! I failed again

Bearing this very excruciating pain, I say.

For a while, my world went down

Thinking of the things I should have done

I gave it all, I did my best

But nothing gave me satisfaction

Nor contentment or exaltation.

I have nothing more to face

And so I knelled and prayed

Hoping that the skies will give me strength

And I'll be relieved.

This is all I need to strive hard once more

To fail, I know will be my stepping stone

To surpass the insurmountable struggles I must

 Just to prove that failure is not a hindrance

No matter how much failure can strike me

But I'll search the light that would lead me

For failure is just the humble beginning

Towards my fruitful forthcoming.

I choose to be happy

I choose to be happy, not because I don't have a choice

I choose to be because I'm contented to what I have,

I am already complete

I am what God had sent me

Even though I'm not as beautiful as the stars

Not as rich as the businessmen

Not as intelligent as the geniuses

Not as famous as the artists

But at least I am unique

and I have everything that I need

I am much blessed for poor creature as I

I am loved by my parents

I am treasured by my precious friends

I am followed by my pets

I am taught by my dedicated teachers

and I am given respect by my community

I am thankful that as I wake up each and every day

I can see the sun shines and the birds twit

I can still greet my friends as we meet

On a fine weather that makes my day complete

I thank God for the problems he had set me

For the difficult people I encountered

For they made me strong

Had taught me not to fall down

Not to give up

To change myself for the better

Ordinary person as I but I realized

I'm free to do whatever I want

I'm free to speak whatever I think

I'm free to eat and drink whatever the table sets

and I'm free to go wherever my heart leads

With the little and simple things that I have

I don't know if I'm still worthy

or deserving to stay on earth

but one thing I know,

that God is with me all the time

Thanks God for turning my tears into smiles

My regrets into positivities

My sorrows into happiness

My dreams into reality

Thank you for showing me genuine happiness

that no money can't buy

I choose to be happy because I have YOU

I know there's more happiness beyond this world

Although I couldn't see YOU

Or even touch YOU

But I feel your presence near me

what else can I ask God?

I know you're here for all of us. Thank you so much!
