Will



Before the fall, he will rise
Like the sun
With no fear,
Only perseverance,
The will power to push through,
Though He may stumble,
He will strive, taking everything,
In stride,
Wish upon a wishing bone,
For everything is set in stone,
Leave alone the pain and anguish,
Taxed and taxed,
Chapter after chapter,
Sick but never faint,
Skilled in every way,
A turtle in the race,
He shall surely win someday.
