Ride the waves

Life will win, this is inherent,

First you flounder, against rocks and waves,

Being pushed along, you try to save,

Keep your head, above the water,

You try your best, to be your author,

You battle against, the flow downstream,

Finally getting, ahead of steam,

You then become, adjusted to,

And finally know, what you must do,

Go with the flow, yet choose your direction,

Aiming for, your goal selection,

Suddenly, you feel at ease,

And all your goals, you hold the keys,

Now you use life’s, real momentum,

To leave the past, where you came from,

Then you start, to use the flow,

To ride the waves, as you go,

You don’t have all, the answers at first,

Experience is how, you get endorsed,

For nothing in life, is quite straightforward,

You just need to, keep going towards,

The best version, of who you are,

Remember that, and you will go far.
