Shadows

As we walk towards the light, letting the light within us glow stronger each moment,
the shadows come upon us stronger,
wanting us to believe the darkness can overwhelm the dim light within us.

Circumstances seem to turn against us.
We seem to encounter difficult people around us.
Voices of doubt and timidity assails our hearts.
Our hearts seem to be sank by the arrows
of disaapointment,
misunderstanding,
dashed hope,
broken promises,
and left alone.

Our strength weakens,
our will waver,
our resolve is shaken,
 our arms grow feeble,
our knees give way,
our spirit diminishes...

What I am suppose to do next?
Endure...
Persist...
Keep on moving forward...

"I can't" whisper the little voice that sounds so real.

Yes, you can.
You can.
You have too.

It is your life that matters.
Once your light shines through the darkness,
and the light dawns,
and your heart is filled with light,
your heart is filled with hope
and you impart hope to those around you
and you will light up many lives along the journey of life.

You got to believe in yourself that you can...
You have too
and you want too
