If There's a Will There's a Way

If there's a will to do something, 
Even if it's a herculean task; 
You'll try each and every option, 
If failed, you cannot help but ask.

You'll ask yourself or somebody
How to address any problem; 
You'll never cease to find ways, 
And will earnestly apply them.

If you are sincerely serious, 
Neither lighthearted nor playful; 
If you are a no-nonsense man, 
Then you'll want to reach your goal.

But if you have no will-power, 
Neither if you're true nor honest; 
Though if it's an easy call, 
Alibis won't be truly missed.

Truly so, for if you're not interested, 
If you're only after self-convenience; 
If you're scared to exert effort, 
Then there's no way  for a clear conscience.

To fulfill God-given task, 
You'll need sacrifices to obey; 
No matter what woes are, 
If there's a will there's a way.
