Life Happened

Tarry not towards the end,
Await and appreciate,
As you are now,
Your sorrow and your joy,
are what you call experience,
wisdom is born as a result.

Dwell not on the past,
the future promises a greener pasture.
Hurts and heartbreak were your
vehicle to your breakthrough.
Your tears subsequently led to your success.
Mistakes made you strive for excellence.

Disappoints turned to motivation,
worked hard to a point of exhaustion.
Success was never guaranteed to be easy,
Defied the odds and achieved the goal.
Yes it was long awaited for,
had to exercise all levels of patience.
This is when life happened.
