Keep Moving

Angaline Hemel 1999

The world went to sleep,
But you stayed awake.
The world played,
But you worked.
The world hated,
But you loved.
The world tried to stop you,
But you kept moving.
The world tossed stones at you,
But you built a home with them.
In the end,
        you succeed,
    As the world failed.
