If a
man
gives
up the struggle before progress is made.
His
freedom is not worth
the
price his ancestors paid.
If a
man
lacks
vision and doesn't believe in his dreams.
His
life is hopelessly without purpose,
and
without real meaning.
If a
man
believes
there is no unconquerable obstacle.
He
has already won the battle in the war of life,
realizing
nothing is impossible.
If a
man
does
not dwell and live in the past.
He
can have faith in his future,
and
a life that will forever last.
If a
man
has
been chastised by the righteous rod.
He
as been disciplined to walk
the
straight and narrow road which leads to God.
