This is one of my poems included in my book “Endless Visions”, As the title suggests the poem encourages all of us to meet our challenges head on, and do what we can to get back on track. Basically it challenges us not to succumb to our circumstances.

Life is a game and you’re not the only player;

Never place your hope and dreams in others,

Plan your life and live your dreams;

So if life throws you a curve ball,

You’ll be prepared to shrug this off despite the fall.

Do not wallow in sorrow when things go wrong,

Get up and fight as life moves along,

Never let others walk over you

Show them what you’re made of too.

Look at yourself from outside in;

The real you lie within,

Don’t be surprised if others deliberately hurt you,

You’ll be the stronger person, don’t let this overcome you.

Look ahead always, never look back;

Be positive as you move ahead,

Disappointments are mere challenges of life,

New doors will open, so stand up and fight.
