Dilapidated Shoes

I wrote this poem during my high school days. As far as I can remember, sadness filled me while jotting down this piece. Dated 12/05/07 @ 8:40am
LOL! here it goes...


The year is almost ending
People are all busy buying
Preparing in advance for Christmas
Hoping they could purchase from the surplus

There was this young lady
Who doesn't eat much candy
Wished for the world's love,peace and unity
Wants to plant and grow at least one tree

She walks to school with her big backpack
Doesn't mind people who tease her "hunchback!"
Sometimes she cries because she is ashamed
Wearing her worn shoes even if there's a game

Life for her is a challenge and it's hard
This lady is contented for her awards
Faith in GOD is what she always value
Striving to be more righteous and true

NEVER QUIT!

We don't expect everything will turnout right

There are failures in life that is worth the fight

Problems, trials, and worries pressure us a bit

You may rest but remember not to quit

It's a sign of defeat when you walk out

So give your best shot and never doubt

Sometimes we need to pause but never stop

It's a sign of weakness when you give up

Patience is a virtue in achieving a goal

The Gospel of Christ is the best food for the soul

Without God, things are worst

Seems like everything is in burst

Faith is another value to reach success

Unfaithfulness won't help to positive access

So believe in yourself but in God mostly

For sure, you'll be trudging the rocky road swiftly
