Claim Your Victory

Sometimes the road seems long and curly
A few steps forward and we end up weary
Consumed by the complexities of our curvy course
We are often tempted to seek the SURRENDER recourse 
But why should we let our time and efforts go to waste
When the curves are simply signs showing us to SLOW DOWN OUR HASTE

Curves to the left and right
Each one leading up to our tunnel’s final light
At each turn in our road we are challenged to increase our workload
And in the process alter our capability mode
Some welcome the challenge with open arms
While others sound their NEVER alarms
Too afraid to stumble along the way
They give up without having the final say

What we fail to realize about these bends
Is that they are mere projections to our victorious ends
So why not let time chart our destination
And view each twist as another level of elevation
