obstacle course.

Life is a huge obstacle course. When a person is born, they are a person clear of any guilts, innocent in their entirety. Its like when an athlete is about to start an obstacle course, and they have a clean slate and haven't messed up. As you grow into a toddler, you're still full of energy. The race still feels good. Your lungs breathe the clear air and you're smooth saling. Then as you grow into a child, things don't always go your way, but you're fine in the long run. Its like hitting the first obstacle. Its not too hard...at least until you're a teenager. The obstacles start getting more and more difficult to overcome. You get cut up and bruised in the the process. You're in extreme stress and pain. But then, as you get used to these harder obstacles and it becomes more and more consistant. You get relieved every one in a while...when you get water breaks...or life's rewards. Also sometimes you fall in the dirt...or life's pitfalls. But you keep running continously. Your body is telling you to give up...but your brain continues to look straight ahead. Nobody wants the race to end, but we still all hope to win. Then, finally...the time comes slower...the finish line looks much closer than it did before. As you remember all the obstacles in the obstacles in the obstacle course...you cross the finish line, and if you're Christian, when you cross your finish line...we all hope for the reward...the medal...the admission ticket to heaven.

Paradise.

"Paradise"
Paradise, a place where joy resides
where theres no stress,no mess
nothing but spiritful minds
Where nothing is promised but happiness
And every hard-working person is entitled to a good rest
No stress no mess
Worry-free the world would be
Without cares the world would see
The precious bliss and whats left of humanity
And when you put two concepts to the test
the one with the biggest heart will do the best
hence,  no stress, no mess.
I'd live without a care in the world
i'd be blazen with diamonds and pearls
Jewels and rings
Money won't be a thing
Surrounded by love and glory
'Happily ever after' would conclude this story
There'd be no devastation, no poverty, no prejudice
No murder no war
"Quoth the Raven, 'Nevermore'"
The sky is the limit, the limit we would reach
And the hypocrites would practice what they preach
Kids wouldn't have to ask,"Why, Mama?"
Because there wouldn't be any drama.
Still dreamin
I'd notice how beautiful everything is seeming
How bright the sun is gleaming
And how wonderful life is
And how taken for granted time is
Until now, this never made sense to me
I know now, you are your worst enemy

Yeah, It would be nice...
Too bad it only happens in Paradise.
