The Source of Success

The Source of Success
Juliette Michelle Acielo, IV - St. Aloysius Gonzaga

One day I walked across the shore
And looked up to the sky
I paused and felt my heavy heart
I wondered why, oh, why?

Why is it that life must be
A complicated matter
Unjustified as it may seem
I won't feel any better

But is it right for me to think
That lives are as I say
Just because I've suffered so
'Cause things don't go my way

I threw a rock into the sea
Far away, it sank
A rush of thoughts at what I saw
My mind ceased to be blank

I watched the sun and as it rose
It said to me, "There's hope"
There are better things for me to do
Than sob and cry and mope.
