A sweeter song

A sweeter song

There is always a sweeter song,
It hates the place of stagnation,
Comes on the wings of adventure,
Played with the instrument called daring,

If you cling to your past,
Settle in your present,
You cannot hear this song,

If you choose to be backward,
Over being always forward,
You cannot play this song,

If you hate a brother,
Despise a sister,
You cannot see this song,

If you love ease,
Court only comfort,
You will not meet this song,

It is played by love,
Sang by sacrifice,
Conducted by compassion,
Driven by passion,
On the tracks of hardwork,

You may stop to smell the roses,
But you must prayerfully keep going,
If you must partake in the concert,
Where there is only a sweeter song,
Always a sweeter song.
