Contemplating on the road
ahead,
The
young boy, broke out in cold sweat.
"It’s
too difficult, he yelled!"
"What if I can’t
make it?"
"I may even die
from exhaustion or get mugged by a thief or get killed by an animal,"
“Grandfather! ,he shouted, you
just don't care do you?”
His wise grandfather
looked at him squarely in the eye,
He put a large book in
his hands with his eyes twinkling,
And with a little laugh
said,” Son, sometimes you have to fight to be a man!!”
“Promise me son, as
your journey in life has just began,
“You will confront
every situation which bothers you,
Not with your fist, but
by the word of God."
"This is a book of
life. No journey of any mortal is complete without it."
“Study it!” he said,
emphatically,” as you go along the way,"
"And the watch the
beauty of your dreams unfold,"
"Feel the sweat of
victory, fall down your cheeks, from great battles you will fight,"
"Sense pride pounding on
your chest at every nook and corner for achievements you will win."
"And finally, remember, the
tears, the pain and hurts which will mar you on your journey, you
will not remember, when the day, He (the Master) finally whispers into your
ears,"
“Well done, good and
faithful servant, you can now wear the victor’s crown!”
