destiny

By: Tony L. Jefferson, Jr.

My creativity is set back by life’s circumstances

My destiny, a dream within reach

But life said, not yet, this nuance you must face

I’ve conquered many obstacles and these I’m sure shall pass

As I sit and think a spell, it gives me fodder for creativity

See life is full of setbacks, which steer us away from our dreams

But I intend to use them to further my craft

A craft slowly being perfected by destinies calling

Pushing on through anything thrown in my path

Life’s little test make me stronger

Giving me an advantage and an opportunity to create something beautiful

Life’s work has to proceed or you’d not have the will to create

I’m tested and strong, born of the most high

Absent from destiny I will not be

Cause I am the master of the direction I take

Strong wills and light hearts

Open mindedness and free thinking are the tools of my trade

Absent from destiny

I refuse that fate

I’m taking hold of my dreams and making them come true
