Every juncture of my life
has been injected with ups and downs
There’s always something
crumbling down around me
My life is an imperfect masterpiece
I think about times in the past
when I was at rock bottom
from the bottom looking up
I couldn’t imagine I’d be where I’m standing today
battling those same ups and downs
that pushes me to be my best
There’s an undefeated “fighter”
inside all of us. This warrior
comes out whenever we’re about
to reach our boiling points.
The more worldly things I long for,
the less happy I become; it just pollutes
the natural odor of my life; I’m taking
the world in moderation while recognizing
it’s on an upward spiral to modernization.
Versus
The more simple things I desire, the happier
I feel; my heart is speaking out; God’s way is
the unpopular route, and the one I’m after;
His Word remains unchanged
when everything else is changing.
