Escalator of Faith
You find yourself ever climbing,
walking up the moving stair.
The effort, vein, and ever tiring.
Your feet hurt, beyond compare.
But, in the distance is the reason
for the efforts, for your pain.
You try real hard, to move up closer,
instead you are, pushed back, again.
Lift yourself up to try again,
stepping ever, so carefully.
But, the same occurs, again, now,
knocking down, that which must be.
Though, you feel like giving up,
you know your heart won’t let you stop.
You must try harder to reach fruition.
You must try harder to reach the top!
Though it feels like an escalator
moving downwards, when you go up,
keep on going, you must try harder
and do your best to reach the top.
The most important is your trial,
not really, the goal that you have set.
For all you know, you may achieve it
and you would be without regret.
Remember, too, success is internal,
you do not have to gain reward.
The prize you get for going on now
is the love you receive, from the Lord.
