Stumblings



falling from grace,
temptations that lasts.
hindrance that becomes stumblings,
a light winnowing,
always fighting a good fight,
a vision out of sight.
always hoping for the better,
straying from the righteous path and things.
a cycle of endless negative behavior and habits,
a faith no better than death itself.
always respect for the lifestyle;
far away from the ashes and dusts of a tomb yet unforeseen in the future,
in spite of the stryfe,
still always room for corrections,
knowing your limits,
the difference between being different and treating others with respect and decency.
a life-changing actions to be taken.
always standing up for what you believe in,
a step to the most upright and righteous direction,
very crucial to your being righteous,
milestone of sleepless days and nights before we can rest assure!!!
