A Three Letter Word


A Three Letter Word 
 
 
No one likes to talk about it yet every human being goes through it.
A three letter word that sucks all your hope, making you bitter & controlled.
Some begin striving for the pot of gold which slowly fades to copper while the faithful ones strive for the winning prize after the race.
See even the best fall to the ground, Even the best feel like quitting in the middle of the race,
doubting if its worth finishing the race.
But see I rather fall, pick myself up, brush off the dust & go on to finish my race so when we are finally face to face I can look straight at His eyes & say, "I loved You & I served You with all my heart,"  I don't want to look down & say, "I'm sorry I failed You."
All because of those three little words.
