Even If It Takes A Lifetime Poem by Nicanor P. Tiosen

Even If It Takes A Lifetime

Rating: 5.0


If it takes a lifetime
to realize a dream,
never would I give up
though it may cause some pain.

If it takes a lifetime
to reach the goal,
I will keep on going to the end -
rising up, every time I fall.

If it takes a lifetime
to find lasting happiness,
then would I not be surprised at all
should a beautiful day be shrouded in mist.

If it takes a lifetime,
gladly would I wait
for a wonderful promise
of a love that's so great.

Sweet success does not come overnight, I know.
But I'll watch each spring from the ground and grow.
I'll patiently hope for its fruit midst dirt and grime,
even if it takes a lifetime.
