Here For There! Poem by Doreenda Nikoi Kotei

Your here is your preparation for there,
You'll need to be humble and submissive.

Your here is your training grounds for there,
You'll have to endure all that comes your way to build skills and expertise.

Your here is your learning period for there,
You'll have to learn, study and acquire in depth knowledge and wisdom.

It is your avenue to pray for your there,
You'll have to speak faith, decree and declare your success beforehand.

Your here is your testing stage for there,
You'll have to strain to pass all your tests successfully.

Your here is your place of refinery,
You'll have to go through the fire to come out better and brighter.

Your here is your place of constant practice for there,
You'll have to keep pushing and polishing yourself.

Your here is your place of sacrifice,
You'll have to give your all out in exchange for deep rooted values and virtues.

Your here is your start in life,
You'll have to keep going, despite your hurdles till you get to the top.

Your here is the fruit of your there,
You'll have to sow today and reap your harvest tomorrow.

Your here is your life for there,
You'll have to live blameless and upright to leave a lasting legacy.

Your here is your dream to be there,
You always have to put it before you and press past the pain to achieve it.

Your here is your time now,
You'll have to use it wisely.
Otherwise, it will tell at the day whether you reach your there or not!
