Sweating with every footstep

Laboring muscles whisper

“Quitting now?”—never happen

Eyeing lasting prize ahead

 

Trusting in life’s conviction

Traveling onward, upward

Adopting new direction

Leaving unhappiness for good

 

Finding courage, gaining strength

Leaving past of long ago

Conquering another day

Surviving for tomorrow

 

Escaping darkest valley

Scaling destiny’s mountain

Climbing with perseverance

Reaching its lofty summit

 

Overwhelming ecstasy

Believing, pressing forward

Looking ahead to next test

Seeking another challenge
