You Still Move Forward

Now is the time to be tough, & be man & woman enough, to not give up.

So rise & shine, it’s time to unwind, time to work hard, & time to grind.

But I see that it’s sometimes hard, & I see that it’s not so easy.

Because I see that all you want is for the pain to go way, & for you to just be happy.

You do your best day in & day out.

But sometimes you ask yourself, right now, is this what my life is all about?

You want to be strong, but you just don’t have the strength to do it.

But you keep reminding yourself that being weak will only make you weaker, bit by bit.

The trials & tribulations that you’re going through, are, or are just really tough, & you wonder when enough is enough.

Sometimes you don’t want to be positive, & I know it’s hard to be that way, but be positive, because you won’t become stronger if you’re negative.

In difficult times like these, you learn about yourself.

In difficult times like these, you learn to ask the ones closest to you, & God himself, for help.

The sky may seem dark, the clouds may seem cloudy, the rain will fall,
& the wind will blow.

But my brother, & my sister, just hold onto God’s helping & unchanging hand, & don’t let go.

But whatever you’re going through, know that it’s not for eternity, but it’s just temporary.

So just hang in there my brother, & my sister, & it will be over you see.

You tell yourself to stay on your feet, & don’t let life make you fall on your back, well it may have to come to that, because sometimes it takes life to make you fall on your back, to allow you to look to God up in the sky.

So my brother, & my sister, when these difficult times come to pass, & for them to become your past, & the reason you went through them, in due time, you would understand why.

So laugh, to keep yourself from crying.

Encourage yourself, to keep yourself from stressing.

Motivate yourself, to keep yourself from falling into depression.

Because when the trials & tribulations you’ve been through have come to an end, know that there will be a happy ending.

But understand this, that even during your struggling through your struggles, even your struggles are blessings, blessings in disguise.

So my brother, & my sister, know that, understand it, & towards it, realize.

But my brother, & my sister, on yourself, don’t quite, but go after success, inch by inch, step by step, & bit by bit.

You can do it; you & I both know that you can.

So my brother, & my sister, just get started, & just start moving.

And do your best, don’t do less, reach for success, & be fearless.

And my brother, & my sister, with the ones closest to you & with God, put on your boxing gloves, & fight through this & you will win, & be victorious.

But my brother, & my sister, I know what you’re going though, may sometimes, & will hurt, but know that Psalms 121, verses1-2 says that you should;

“Lift up your eyes unto the hills, from which comes your help, your help coming from the Lord who made heaven & earth.”

But my brother, don’t you quit, because you will make it.

So my brother, & my sister, with the ones closest to you, & with God himself, to him you look towards, because with all you’re going through, & been through, I can clearly see, that you don’t move backward, but you still move forward.
