Though the pillaging forces of darkness and fear assault and plunder my day and me, I shall not lose sight of the hopes and dreams awaiting me on the breath and dawn of the morrow.
Though none seem to know me, I shall console myself in the fact that my creator does.
When all the intake of my mind can inhale is dark, I shall be encouraged, knowing that dreams always ride on the face of the morrow.
I shall not collapse completely, for though I appear to be a Humpty Dumpty man, completely broken and spoiled beyond repair, I stand fast in the fact, that all the kings horses and all the kings men, can in fact put humpty Dumpty back togeather again.
The fact that Im fifty, should not work against me I should think, for surely I have prevailed lo these many years, due to unmeasured grace extended.
Our genious lit, can only be veiled, when we seek to withdraw in fear, but in each moment that we stand up in courage, our wells and rivers of hope, perceverance and confidence, are rekindled.
We each were created , fashioned and spawned in intriquet and woven excellence, all born in regal beauty, all worthy of the pursuit of love, hope and happiness.
Let not the pillaging shawdow of today, steeped in fear, thwart our ability nor desire to walk into this day in splendor, for it is our courage spent and walk attempted that shall mark our excellence upon the dawn of tomorrow, not our success necessarily that shall be our grade given, and mark and testemonial.
For it is not how we finished the race that colors us in greatness, but rather how we ran it!
As long as our mission includes others, bred out of caring hearts, our walk shall always remain a noble one.
If you show them your heart, all men of value shall embrace it.

I cannot believe this was never responded to! It is beautiful and inspiring.

Rodney, if you are still out there, well said. Thank you for speaking my heart! I mayn't be 50, but I am old enough to have toiled on the journey.

Wow... I may have to copy this to my journal.

Wonderful post but having spent years searching there really is but one answer

Your here for a finite time.

Roll it, because you should never feel like you may have missed something. What if's are kryptonite to the dreamer.

Dan...

this sums up my idea of the point of life very well,

"For it is not how we finished the race that colors us in greatness, but rather how we ran it! As long as our mission includes others, bred out of caring hearts, our walk shall always remain a noble one. If you show them your heart, all men of value shall embrace it."

well said.
