STORY OF MY LIFE

I was a little boy born without a silver spoon

Sat upon my dream as she struggle to survive

The world seems to be lonely just as I was

We sat by the hill figuring each others thought

One night, the wind whispered to me

Only if you believe can you thrive

I went to fetch for firewood as much can find

To burn away the misery of self doubt

I journeyed into the night

With zeal burning in my heart

Holding on to God's words stretched out

And cast my burden and fear out

In rainy nights, inasmuch as sunny days

My childhood missed the presence of the stars

Time was running faster than my dream

So I made a deal to be the best of self

Through college, trouble seems to find me

But never did I allow life to get the best of me

I light a lamp in my heart

Bought oil to fuel the flame inside

Every day am hustling the sun walks behind me

Stacks away doubts from an ambitious mind

As the ship set sail towards my dream

I found love and the warmest of a friend

I wrote my dreams on the brick of time

And slept off while the night was at her prime

Woke up in a world made of rubies

No more weariness in the heart

In a twinkling of an eye, life took a bow

My dreams became bolder and stronger

It climbed to the end of the ladder

And the sun stood still for ever
