No Success Comes Without Struggle

No successes come without a struggle A pity to wallow in life’s sorrow To focus on our problems and trouble Dims potential for better tomorrows Seek the positive side, never borrow The following day’s ill-defined boggle Consider Egypt's stubborn king Pharoah No successes come without a struggle.

Struggles come in quicker-time, redouble Sometimes successes bring slow bravados Concentrating on a problem’s rubble Dims potential for better tomorrows So, learn to balance your joys and sorrows Focus on the forward steps, not trouble From tomorrow’s woes surely don’t borrow Above all, be especially humble, ...No success comes without struggle.
