My inspiration for this poem came from a deep admiration for the quiet, persistent effort of those who commit to the long haul. Life's challenges and triumphs often feel more like a marathon than a sprint. It requires a different kind of courage—a steady, patient pace, an unwavering commitment over time, and the inner fortitude to keep going even when the finish line seems distant.
