'Tis incredible beyond measure
Life's a secret made unfold
Behold the mystery unknown
When time reveals in sweet candor
Pure, sublime is a goal with valor.
The road is not an easy one
To tread along till travels end
Its groove too many:it's rough, it's tough
To the blistering feet like chilblains
Its sordid scars claim sore defeat.
Trials shape courage and patience
Heaving meekness, spirit buoyed;
forging on, fortitude commands.
Life is fearless, endurance proves
to those that master strength forebear.
Journey is adventure far advanced
Unplugged, emblazoned to its height
The goal in sight to fathom light
While dream soars high, the spirit drifts
Here and then, a sentimental journey ends.
