Too Far To Turn Back Poem by Gerry Legister

I have gone too far to turn back from loving you
The pains endured, faith been knock around a little bit,
Committed to virtue, the prize of seeing things through
I have never done before, but my soul refuses to quit.

The most amazing thing is the miracle we are given,
To be born from the most unlikely background,
And be not influence by the bad persons or alien feign
Going on in society, and the environment surround.

But you are not too far behind to get ahead,
Don't allow negative circumstances to dictate fear
It will stop you from growing, keep striving instead
Look for goals in your life and blessings to share.

Life can be cruel; I have come too far to turn back,
Having endured hostile abuse and persecution
From mine adversaries, even friend's vicious attack,
Shame is responsible for the greater proportion.

If you should let faith slips who will take the blame?
Roll with the pain; don't drift away out in the cold
And sell out your soul for picketing of a noble name,
Where would you find comfort as anchor for my soul?

Even thought I am slowing down with age
My career is accelerating towards the finish,
With agility, the rapture assures me of a heritage,
Beyond this sphere lies a greater destiny to reach.
