An Extra Mile

When we've finished work begun
We feel good that it is done.
But when we face "an extra mile"
We need some joy to help us smile.

The "extra mile" becomes a test,
A chance to do our very best,
Causing us to stretch and grow,
Learning things we didn't know.

The extra mile is then our friend,
Our perspective to amend.
Endurance it will surely teach
And help us bright new goals to reach.

"The hand of the diligent will rule..."
Proverbs 12:24 Amplified Bible
