Challenge Accepted

"Embrace life's challenges; they're the keys that unlock your soul's true potential" CJB

I didn't ask for life,
Life happened, you see,
Took me from heaven,
Felt unacceptable, to me.

But as the years rolled by, as my mind and body crumbledβ€”
I realized heaven is also life, the game had been rumbled!

And that's when I knew the challenge I face,
Do I let my animal mind run my human race?
Or do I look to heaven, and feel what I seeβ€”
Challenge accepted! I've set my soul free!


When the clouds fill my mind,
When I cannot see to think,
I remember my challenge,
Digitally create without ink.

My challenge is to grow, to never give up,
Time will pass by but I'll always see a full cup.

And that's when I recall the challenge I face,
Do I let my animal mind run my human race?
Or do I look to heaven, and feel what I seeβ€”
Challenge accepted! I've set my soul free!


You may think this challenge doesn't apply to someone like you,
But if you're feeling unhappy, accept it, rise to what's true.

Challenge, challenge, you've shown me the way,
To live, to love, to seize today.
