Not the national lottery
Or the European Jackpot
But the most needed courage
As important as life itself
And that is the courage to keep going.

When life seems dark
When sky seems cloudy
And its limitations seem unending
When life looks gloomy and not bloomy
And the going is getting tough

When hope seems unrealizable
And the essence of living seems confusing
What else should a man think of
National Lottery or Bingo Jackpot?
I think it's the courage to get going

Though there are times
When life worth terminated
But with courage
Plus endurance and commitment
And minus tiredness
What seems unachievable would be achieved
For the journey of 100km begins with a step

Get up
Wake up
And buckle up your minds
Be focused and keep going
Surely the sky will be the limit

« return.
