Dear future, I wanna walk by faith and not by sight. Be somebody else’s guiding light. Possess the strength to carry these burdens even if it means that I have to fight.

I wanna learn and earn wisdom with a certain tenacity. Until this brain of mine is filled to it’s maximum capacity.

I wish to leave a lasting impression in the hearts of my enemies. As the hate blinds them, my unwavering compassion shall allow them to see.

Thoughts of me forever in their minds like footprints in the sand. As they ask themselves how much disappointment can one man truly stand?

A certain predecessor handed us a legacy at the beginning of life. It’s left with us to maintain it no matter the amount of strife.

Despite what you may of been told, I assure you no one knows what the future may hold. If that be the case, excuse me as I speak to my fate. Dear future, if it’s not too late..I wanna be great!
