Keep Going

The biggest lesson for me this year Was when I looked at myself in a mirror, No more was i going to let anyone defeat me With an insult or even with a knee. When I saw those who hurt me crowing, I decided to keep on going. When friends needed help I was there When they needed money I gave it without despair, But, when it was I needing and asking They were all off somewhere else in the sun basking. There true selfs they were showing, So, I just kept going. When I walked alone on that rocky road My true self to the world I showed, While others complained and started balking I continued walking. I decided I would not be quitting or slowing, So, I just kept going. When she told me that she could do much better I decided then and there to let her, I decided that I would happily move on Never would I again be her or anyone else's pawn. And when the wind began blowing, With a smile, I just kept going. I have been used and I have also been played But, unto God for them I had prayed, And while they all sat back to seek revenge It was I who had decided I would avenge. When the punches were throwing, I answered back and I kept going. I kept going when I had only a dime I kept going when I had only a rhyme, And when my feet were calloused and my stomach growling No man could hear me howling. I then knew that I was spiritual growing, So, I now alwayslook forward, and I just keepgoing. Randy L. McClave
