.
A gruelling journey
Over mountain crags,
Steep cliffs, wide clefts,
Waters-falling, echoes calling,
In sun and rain, arduous terrain,
Boulders, rocks, and stones,
A TAXing, TIRing test
Demanding our very best
To culminate in sucCESS.
If it were easy, stress-free,
Our victory would be worth-less.

Thank you for such a lovely compliment, BD. What can I say… just sit down quietly and try… I jot down a sentence or phrase or even only an idea sometimes and build around it.

The trials and tribulations are there to strengthen us and therefore when we win through it means that much more to us.
