Analysis of My Destination
I want to walk.
Though I know,
I can fall down
but still it is my only vow.
I don't want to stop.
Not even if I am tired.
I know my limbs are worried
but my spirit is flared.
Walking means progress,
Slowly but steadily.
I pursue it carefully
but not recklessly.
If misfortune will happenstance,
again I'll stand
because my destination is
rising sun of distant land.
