Call by Gideon Tay Yee Chuen

Call

.

I am

Called to be

a Change-Maker

a Trail-Blazer

a Strong Leader.

Called—

to move Mountains.

I am.

 

Excitement, exhilaration, anticipation.

 

I can’t wait to start

Yet I start to wait

For something—

To happen

To appear

To start.

 

Nothing came, so I stood

Despondent.

 

Then they called out:

Faith without action is

 

Dead.

.
