Living day to day with a steadfast determination
A sense of self and comfort within my own skin
I find new and difficult challenges to be overcome
As I see these obstacles diminish before my eyes
These times I am so self assured were not always here
As I often found myself lost in a treacherous jungle
Filled with the uncertainty of each days sunrise
Hoping to survive to see that same sun set in the west
I now see the truth of my abilities and walk as such
Confident in my stride and relaxed in my demeanor
Surrounded by the pride, yet standing tall above
Rising to take charge of the new days adversity
Approaching harsh realities with ferocity unrivaled
Opposition will cower with sudden recognition
As my superiority becomes supremely evident
A mighty roar shakes the bones of my enemies
As the sun begins to sink on the distant horizon
I contemplate the past and the road I have taken
Filled with perilous turns and threatening twists
A blessed miracle to be sitting upon figurative throne
An overwhelming peace takes the place of past regret
As I survey the vast land of opportunity before me
Not lost to the truth of how fortunate I am to be in this place
I can now bask in the glory of my newfound nobility

I love the confidence and assurance that resonates throughout this piece while still maintaining a sense of humility!! I hope you are well, friend!
Thank you D. I am SO glad to see you catching up with my work. I hope YOU are doing well. I have been pretty good myself. As far as this piece goes, without humility the feeling of nobility would be false or at the very least shallow. Thanks for dropping in.
I apologize for neglecting your blog and our friendship. Hopefully I will not be a stranger any longer!!!
Good to hear. Please no worries on being away. Everybody needs a little time and space to get things in proper order from time to time. How do you think this Lion found his Nobility?
Dear JMC,
Fantastic Post! Wishing You All the Very Best On Your Journey!

Thanks Marcus.
Mighty Inspiring O Noble One 🙂 (are you a Leo perchance?) Great photo 😉
Nope. I am actually a Libra (Remember my issues with balance and perfection?) I have always seen myself as a Lion however and am fascinated with the Mightiest creature of them all. Perhaps in a former reality I roamed the jungle.
Oh yes, I do remember now. I often hear you roaring, so I think You may be right 😉
