Your History

Your history is yours and belongs to no other

Its beginning is begotten of your father and mother

The path that ensues from your first step

Will be a long journey with burdens and rest

To write your own history depends on no other

Your success not penned by father or mother

Do not forget God who guides your conquests

He also will shelter when life is depressed

Enjoy writing your history that depends on you

No eraser is craved when God sees you through
