Seeing Rejection

Supposedly my entry for another blogging site but I opted to post the poem here. 

Could this be another closed door? 

I’ve been through this many times before. 

Again here I am wondering ‘what went wrong?’ 

Then I whispered ‘ Stay calm… be strong!’ 

Despite the fact that you’re doing your best, 

You’ll be taken to a difficult test. 

And no matter how good you try 

You would end up with a deep sigh. 

Alas!, life is a sea of ups and downs 

Keep afloat or you might get drowned. 

Some people would turn against you. 

Find peace within, this shall pass too. 

Come what may life must go on. 

See rejection as a stepping stone. 

Move ahead and look at the brighter side. 

Keep going.... Let God be our guide.

C.h.e.e.r. M.e. U.p. Lord

I’ve posted it once but I want to share it again. A very simple 

prayer / poem that I need to remember often

Cheer me up again, O Lord

Hear my heart today.

Encourage me to keep on going;

Empower me to pray.

Relieve me of all the worries...

Make way for each new day

Enlighten my weary spirit

Until I find

Peace from You, O Lord, I pray.

Have a Nice Weekend!!
