An Uphill Journey

“As we tread along the journey of life
We need to strive and strive just to survive.”- By author

                                             An Uphill Journey

                                  Moving up one`s journey uphill, 
                                        Though for many a thrill,
                                      Is a scary endless struggle
                                       Verging on a daily battle
                               Calling for persistence and diligence;

                                    One may expect rugged roads
                                            With no one to goad
                                            In the journey of life
                                         As uphill one does strive.
                                      With no skills and experience;

                                           Moving alone up a hill
                                          Needs power of the will
                                         With the shine of bravery
                                         The gem of divine mercy
                             Coupled with patience and perseverance.
