What We are Given

To understand your future 

You must dig into your past 

Dig deeply

To the moments that made you

Every person is given a different hand

Delt by the same dealer

And God is at work

Within all of us 

Inspiration comes in many forms 

Not often in ones that are discoverable

But it is safe to say 

I’ve found my inspiration in hardship 

A father’s bond with his son is unbreakable

To an extent 

And to crack that bond 

May send you down two different roads 

A vision is made for a son

Within the lines of a relationship 

And that vision is put to the test 

With the becoming of manhood 

There is often a breaking point 

With words that are said 

And actions that are taken 

But to me it is a building point 

The pressure on my shoulders

Will soon be lifted 

Goals will be reached 

And stress will be diminished

I have been inspired by  stress

And through pressure

But I will stand tall

When my inspiration is carried through.
