In following a chosen path, if you will persevere,
You will stretch and grow, and good progress will appear.
Sometimes if you're weary and often feel like quitting,
You think it would be easier to sit and do some knitting!
Staying focused on your goals... within will build some grit.
"At the start" or "halfway through" you should not choose to quit!
Remember through each weary day, "with no pain, there is no gain".
As you labor you will find... achievement is a higher plane.
Reach up to that higher place until you reach your chosen goal.
It may surprise you then to learn that no one else could fill your role.
What you thought you couldn't do has proved to be worthwhile.
Your example has much worth... you went the second mile!
"...This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Philippians 4:13-14 KJV
