''What Am I Building?''

So what am I building
as I work every day?
Am I constructing my future
or just temping for pay?

My efforts are bricks
my foundation my dreams
My faith my supports
and my prayers like beams

Is it a road of regrets
that I build sure to fail?
Is it a wall of defeats
with no ladder to scale?

Is it a fortress of fear
to bind dreams that can't fly?
Is it a prison for hopes
that then wither and die?

Is it a fence 'round my wishes
with no way out,through or in?
Is it a castle for others
while without I peer in?

To build bridges of victories
over doubts I must choose
To build tunnels of experience
that help others get through

To build towers up high
from there vast lands survey
To build a temple inside
and show others the way

And then built by design
from a plan to be grand
My monumental life
over time will still stand!
