I stand on the threshold of life
I look into the far yonder
Trying to read signs of times to come
Ayond the horizon I focus my sight….
At some distance I spot haze
And then a brightness lining the curve
My feet are firmly planted on ground
My foundation stands strong
Obstacles and tribulations I have seen
I know they will be constant companions
I shall let them be a part of my shadows
As I face the life-sustaining sun
Resolve I to build on legacies inherited
To prepend to the wealth bequeathed
The future will test my strength
Apprise me for my worth
Foster my fortitude
I will make my dreams come true!
