I still believe

I traverse the path, often stumbling to the ground, 

Not once, but recurrently,in ways profound. 

Yet, a force within rekindles my strength, 

To rise again and tower an immeasurable length. 

 

I cling to belief, an unwavering flame, 

In yearning's embrace, where dreams stake their claim. 

With unyielding effort, I forge ahead to earn, 

Aspirations on which my ambitions burn. 

And then all the stumbling seems like a pause, 

In there to test me, my belief and my cause. 

 

From shadows of fears, courage I distill, 

In sickness, I unravel the art of aging with skill. 

Amidst duties, I learn what distance is, 

In sorrow the quest for existence builds. 

I still believe, in yearning, I will find my way, 

Endeavors persist and dreams illuminate my day. 

With unyielding effort, I forge ahead to earn, 

Aspirations on which my ambitions burn.
