work help: I am Abraham - Help.com

I am Abraham

Blessed and cursed to live in this world
Many people have crossed my path,
Many people who have pushed me.
They say, “the result of education is Tolerance,”
With my education, I can tolerate a lot.
Regardless of how far they push me I must stay strong,
A wise person said, “the Devil can only trouble you, if You let him.”
So I must stand my ground
Abraham was once the father of all Hebrews,
Abraham was one of the greatest presidents.
Knowing this, I have my work cut out for me,
For I have not yet fulfilled my duties to claim the name ‘Abraham’
I must be addressed to other names, ‘Abe’ and ‘Red’
I have not found my place in the world and make a name for myself.
So I will carry the name Abraham, to signify the great ones and to show how hard I have to work
Many have failed to try to live up to this title,
I have been chosen, yet I am slipping,
I do not wish to fail…
But the road is hard to travel on,
I have seen those who have failed
And their cold hands, try to pull me in.
I am cursed to travel this road,
But I am blessed with this name that predicts a place among great ones.
I am Abraham
And I will not Fail.

I was feeling a little unmotivated lately, so I tend to look back at this from time to time to remind myself of what I’m here for, and for what lies ahead, so I’ve decided to share this with you guys here. Enjoy!

I am Aaron
Named after the brother of Moses
Who supported him through his tasks
Mountain Of Strength,
Teacher, enlightened.

I am Aaron,
I do my utmost to be a rock,
A safe harbour in troubled waters,
I am only a man,
But a man with a name to be proud of,
A name to live up to

I am Aaron,
I stand here and challenge the world
I will not be broken,
I will be a pillar of hope in this life,
Aye, still be when im in the next.
I will grasp this life with both hands
And wring from it my worth for my name.

I am Aaron,
No one can take this from me,
I Will be an example
To follow, to uphold
I will look my reflection in the eye everyday
And I will see no shame
Others may fail this name,
But not me

I am Aaron,

And you will know of me.

Try you must.

Life isn’t about how many times you get knocked to the ground, but how many times you get back up.

Aaron, That was amazing! In my eyes, your name will echo with greatness and not a single shred of shame will be there.

This is where id make a corny poem on
What is in a name
but my mind is blank
My feet are bare
And my body craves my bed
So this is safe to ask what is in a name?
Who were those to carry that name
should we be named?
For if that puts such great expection on us or would that have us slack life?
what is in a name,
A famous name
a vixens name
Any name what is in a name
Does the man make the clouth or does the clouth make the man?

This reminded me of a proper Biblical story. Today when I opened the Quran to read, I opened it to the Chapter of Abraham. You made an impression friend:)
