THE DIFFICULT ROAD The road will wear you down Other’s expectations have you tired Your lovely smile turns into a frown The desire to succeed has its clout One thinks about giving How much can you give? Sometimes you give everything, but It is lost like water in a sieve One looks inward – inward for strength Thinks deeply about life – life is not a disease What is it one thinks that brings us to our knees? Success comes from sunshine – an answer if you please Now is just the beginning although five months have past The beginning of the last seven – a gift from heaven Look about at nature; listen for the sounds Find everything you’re looking for; everything you’re craving Look for the spark that gives you energy Think you can find it? It is such a mystery Go to the shore; climb the mountain side Listen to the echoes of a distant stampede Do not rest too long – the rent must be paid Whittle your way through the forest; use a sharp blade Give back all your excuses before you dig your grave You have done the deed; many thanks from those you saved Stanski June 1, 2021 ^
