Relentless Pursuit

Far away from home, 

Hustling through the crowd

Heading towards a life, 

So unfamiliar

unarmed..

You entered the devilish domain.

With 'fire in your belly' and determination in your heart, 

Relentless in your pursuit right from the very start. 

Inspiring everybody who comes your way, 

You, yes you...have had the last say. 

You have been resilient, you have been tough;

Walking alone along a path that was rough. 

Moving ahead, you had to make difficult decisions,

Some were thoughtful, and some you had to bluff.

Hardships come and go, 

surreal spirit will keep you cheered on;

things ineffable await you at the other end, 

With each passing dawn. 

Learn from setbacks and be happy with each success, 

Let not disappointment bemuse you with distress. 

Tomorrow is a new beginning at your behest,

Another opportunity to prove that you are not like the rest. 

To the world unknown, you fly with your story untold, 

Here you are and here you stand, 'fearless' and bold. 

Break all the stereotypes, leave behind the thought of race,

Just give your best shot and leave everything else on His grace.
