Rise above...



Rise above old sorrows and begin to grow new joys

Rise above the problem you will then see the solution

Rise above your dark days and you will live new years of brightness

Rise above failures and success will be inevitable

Rise above fear and you will embrace satisfaction

Rise above your past bad experiences and you will meet new great avenues

Rise above pride and significance will be your virtue

Rise above unfulfilled promises and you will be surrounded by new opportunities

Rise above holding back then letting go will not be a problem

Rise above being unforgiving then peace will be your rightful portion

Rise above lies and the truth will set you free

Rise above playing small and you will become great

Rise above pretence and fulfilment will not be much different from your first name

Rise above hate and love will not just be a common poetical expression

Rise above selfishness then wealth will be yours, and above all rise above….
