The Finish Line Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

I have come so close to the finish line
I cannot look back now
I must complete the race
and not break my vow
in the beginning I give my word
and must stand firm to my belief
when the goal be achieve
there will be no more suffering and grief

so many times I tried and fail
but will never give up
it is my vision and faith
to reach the top
when I look to the mountain
I remain focus on my dream
to keep the togetherness of my parents
in my heart
nothing must come in between

like the waves in the ocean
competing to reach the shore
like the clouds in the sky
to shield the earth from door to door
with discipline and determination
do I dedicate my duty to succeed
I must prove that I have the strength
of a lion indeed

by the word of truth I live
to make use of every opportunity on my path
I have no regret over my shoulder
when from this world I must depart
at the moment of victory
heaven will open the sky
for me to see the light
to be enlighten with wisdom
the chariot of my soul
will take its flight.
