PUSH AHEAD
Your courage and strength is your crowning glory
They can never take away your personal story
You and God determine your destination
Push ahead, without hesitation
Try as they might to break your spirit
Your heart and faith will keep you in it
Believe in yourself and your path will be clear
Push ahead, your dreams are so near
Fear and doubt will creep inside
You sometimes want to just run and hide
You’re scared of failure and all it entails
Push ahead, and you will not derail
The road ahead seems long and tough
The twists and turns sometimes seem too rough
Your goals are worth the struggle ahead
Push ahead, your hopes and dreams are worth the tread
Reach high above and look toward the sky
It sometimes takes just one more try
Your steps are sure and your way is clear
Push ahead, and you’ll overcome your greatest fear
Perseverance is what it will take to shape and mold
You and God will decide what your future will hold
All your dreams inside are about to unfold
Push ahead, the story of your life is yet to be told
I came across this poem just today. I liked very much the message of perseverance. It reminded me of a mom I met in a waiting room at one of my daughter's appointments. Her daughter, Hannah, has a disease that causes muscular degeneration. The condition is unfortunately terminal and death is eminent. Regardless of the prognosis, I met the pair in the waiting room of a physical therapy clinic. With their uncanny ability to put doubt and fear aside, sweet Hannah is making progress in her physical development. Just as hard work does for all of us, her mom says that the efforts Hannah puts forth in physical therapy brings purpose and joy to her life.
