Endurance

In life there is a mountain that is far higher
In climbing, men who are willing will never tire
Climbing this mountain seems to many a great deed
But few will ever succeed

Many on the way up this mountain have dropped. 
And some beginners because of this have stopped
If any climber of failure think
Soon he is set to sink. 

Beneath this mountain flow a bloody pool
In which to stay is the thought  of a fool
Upon this mountain seats a cliff of gold 
Which can only be won by the bold

Hope is an important mobility up this mountain
And faith if it's heights you will maintain
Success on this journey is on percent inspiration 
But ninety nine percent perspiration.

This reads like a lyric, a song text. It is strong and powerful, and I fully agree with you.
