Conquering Life

Eagerly she swept about the maze
Her patience robust
Years became of all of the days
Sturdy kept her trust

One brick wall led to another
Persistence was key
Softly repeated the words of her mother
Soon she would be free

Times were trying, her energy ran thin
She didn't buckle or relent
Her sky high tolerance would deliver her the end
With her eye on the prize, she went

As promised, one day the walls gave out
She could see in every direction
The smell of victory was ever so stout
She tingled with perfection
