The persistent pursuit

Of life’s glorious route

Requires much more than it seems.

Our focused intent

Is a scout that is sent

To lay out the pathway to dreams.

The knowledge we gain

Through the rocky terrain

Builds tools we will need on the way.

If we run or we crawl,

If we rise when we fall,

The trek will begin new every day.
