PUSHING FOR JUST ANOTHER MILE?

PUSHING FOR JUST ANOTHER MILE?


Smooth, smooth sailing as there’s wind in sail;

It’s gonna get tough when the wind in it, is out!

Nevertheless the tough gets going when odds are against,

As he possess immense strength to graft and grind.

 

No matter what the intensity of the problem is

Winning and losing depends on how far you go;                                                    

Stretching out a step further surpassing your fatigue

Is worth a try; not minding what the consequence is!

 

The roof that clatters in torrential rain and wind                                       

Still manages to hold good, withstanding the havoc;

Had it given way when the first wind blew

It wouldn’t have stood thus far, but lost its place!

 

The coarse grass that grows on slushy river bed

Knows how far it can stretch and stand on ground;

It flexes itself an extra inch to bend back and forth

For it knows a rigid stand will make it lose its place!

 

Flexibility and diligence make your life delectable

For you don’t have to spend that extra energy against odds;

Peace prevails for you have no enemies to fight against,

So you conserve the extra energy to run the extra mile!

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A little bit of extra effort needed to succeed in life and never say enough is enough.

"...you have no enemies to fight..."

Such a great definition of peace - diplomats and politicans and world leaders should hear this line and dream of it ~Star~
