The Journey

He took the road less taken 
and instilled wisdom the minds of men 
that greater hardship leads to greater glory. 
Thorny feat goes down in history. 

For when choices come before men,
most men choose the troubleless omen,
but he took the road less traveled by, 
and that made him the greater guy. 

And even if nothing gold can stay, 
great deeds never fade away, 
they make one's memory immortal; 
They make a pillar for a great pedestal.
