Excellence Is Always Up Hill

Trying,
crying,
repeating again,
are all part of this task.

Seek outside counsel,
look for some clues,
don’t be afraid
to ask.

It’s hard at times
to admit defeat,
or at least to accept
you are wrong,

But in the end
when all said and done,
the pain doesn’t last
very long.

Refinement hurts,
the road is tough,
excellence is always
up hill.

Big rewards
and the winner’s ring,
are there for those with
strength and will.
