The Guardian angel saw Mariam weeping and devastated. She's a young girl in college. Guardian Angel: "What's wrong with you?" Mariam: "I can't go on with this. Life's too tough for me." Guardian Angel: "Is it life or the bout in life?" Mariam: "What's the difference." Guardian Angel: "Let me read this poem to you" Mariam: "Ok!"
Poem In a bout with you life's obstacles My bones you break and count In a way I can't recount You fasten your chains Around my neck Suffocating my efforts Breathing/gasping for hope I yearn for home Like though I'm gone Both hands and feet of mine You bind to shame My effort and time You bring to grieve All night she watches As I groan in pains None to save me Nowhere to run In the mud of my facticity I'll keep on fighting Until I break free From the bondage of fear and failure And the dungeon of addiction and depression
.................. Guardian Angel: "Did it speak to you?" Mariam: "Yes! Life is a battle field and each obstacles we must fight. Only when we give up then we are defeated." Stay strong my podcast listeners and keep fighting till the last puff of air. Hope to see you in 2days time.
