A Time and a Place

So, where does this time take me,

to lands, and dreams, far from the comfortable homestead.

To take on challenges and to learn

to be daring, for courage to be my new ally.

For challenges of strength, of stamina, of patience,

for challenges of understanding.....

With time, my friend, a gift I am given

of opportunities to strengthen the resolve

and character that I carry.

I can benefit from this gift and

rise to each occasion,

or fall, and fail, or lose my strength in spirit

and be lost in misunderstanding.....

The choice is mine, in each and every action

to be a victor, or a victim

only time ....will tell you

the outcome......
