Yesterday is an accomplished battlefield.
Tomorrow is a treasure sealed.
Today is a challenge to find the key.
Open up your eyes so you can see.

Don't fear to drown.
Awed by the gravity tenacity!
Determined to pull you down.
But still the pureness intensity.
Resisted to pull you right back up!
Follow your track.
Keep climbing to reach the top.
Just never think to look back.

Days of our Life are a battlefield.
That's a fact! It doesn't matter if you're thrilled.
The three magic words you need.
Determination, tenacity and confidence.
That' how the key will make appearance.

The author's comments:
I was just lying in my bed at 4:30 a.m just could catch some sleep! I was drowning in my thoughts and it just came up right away. I truely believe that every single day of our life is kind of a battlefield. A challenge to get through the next level which is Tomorrow. I hope it makes sense to you guys ^_^ Leave some feedback!

Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The dye has been cast. The decision has been made. I have stepped over the line. I won&rsquo;t look back, let up, slow down, or back away. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future secure. I&rsquo;m done with low living, sight walking, small planning, colorless dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, cheap living and dwarfed goals: I no longer need preeminence, prosperity, positions, promotions, or popularity. I don&rsquo;t have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by faith, lean on His presence, walk with patience, live by prayer and labor with power. My face is set, my goal is Heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions are few, my Guide is reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversary, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won&rsquo;t give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and spoken up for the cause of Christ. I am a disciple of the lord Jesus Christ.&rdquo; - African martyred for Christ.

Good. A little bit of grammar issues here and there, a little weird with the three words thing, but it's okay. I'll give it a 3.75/5
