I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

In the beginning it surely wasn’t easy;

Over the years I became a tad bit lazy;

 

Having realized that I don’t have to engage in every fight;

Just ‘because constitutionally I have that right;

 

Equally I don’t have to win every battle;

At times I have learned for less to settle;

 

Learning that I must not react to every provocation;

When tempted I take my mind and soul on a mental vacation;

 

In keeping calm I meditate in silence;

Because I am really tired of all this violence;

 

Now I avoid situations that triggers;

As I have a habit of plotting revenge and it lingers;

 

To the extent that I get so worked up;

I have trained my mind to shut up;

 

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

Firstly, myself I had to forgive;

Life unto myself I have spoken;

 

Those that took my love for granted;

In my walk were strategically planted;

 

Against them in my heart I no longer hold grudges;

I opt to rather relax and watch boxing matches;

 

The hurt and pain is not their doing;

My compassionate heart just kept on giving;

 

My mind, soul and heart no longer heavy;

To be joyful and thankful for is so plenty;

 

I am more important and want to be happy;

Cutting off those draining me I have to be snappy;

 

Now with gratitude I guard my heart;

Before passion from me grows far apart;

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

Finally I can sense my hearts beat;

Covered by clouds in God from all this heat;

 

Now I listen without interruption with intent;

Upon a collective effort and love I depend;

 

Instead of the constant suggestions, I now ask;

In complete and utter humility I bask;

 

I can now experience my spirit man at rest;

It has come time to give unto me my best;

 

There is a tangible change internally;

The way I perceive equally mentally;

 

I have really become a changed man;

Evident in my train of thought and plan;

 

I no longer get angry with vigor;

Come to think of it, won’t even need that liquor;

 

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

Over people’s health I was made responsible;

Because they saw in me a man that is noble;

 

I became the resident doctor and pharmacist;

Death to the accusations that I am a narcissist;

 

In me many people came and did confide;

Their secrets and pains in me forever will abide;

 

I was tasked unto the people of God to preach;

As I witnessed that all needed a new level to reach;

 

Made by management a senior resident;

Leading the people as their chosen president;

 

Setting them free from all captivity;

Breaking down all walls of negativity;

 

It had to happen that for this reason I was raised;

I can sense that my efforts God indeed has praised;

 

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race

 

In me people have identified a humble leader;

Gifted I have realized that I am an eloquent speaker;

 

Into their lives God’s mercy and favor I prophesy;

I know that one day of God’s goodness they will testify;

 

That’s why in my walk I am never alone;

Even though many my soul attempt to stone;

 

They will never succeed my spirit to defeat;

Unto my life God’s promises are on repeat;

 

Can the haters just give up already?!

The angels on my defense team are many;

 

Now I know that from those given much;

Prior to their birth by God were given a touch;

 

Now my soul rests at night;

I no longer in my dreams take flight.

 

I finally found my peace….At the end of my race
