Analysis of Success Ahead
Michael T. Butler 2002 (Monrovia)
Amidst this struggle, I will find my way,
The path is difficult, and the journey is long,
But with each step, I am gaining the strength to stay,
And I will keep on moving, singing a victory song.
The road is rough, and the mountains are high,
I know that I will often stumble and fall down,
But I will get up again, with a determined eye,
And will keep climbing with an unyielding crown.
The winds of failure are trying to blow me away,
And the storms of doubt are shaking my resolve,
But I will hold on through the night and the day,
And will refuse to let my spirit dissolve.
And finally, I will reach the summit of success,
The view is breathtaking, the feeling sublime,
All the struggles are worth the progress,
And the challenges will make me stronger over time.
So, to all those also in strife,
Know that success is within your grasp,
Keep moving forward with a determined life,
And triumph over the struggles, at last
