No successes come without a struggle
A pity to wallow in life's sorrow
To focus on our problems and trouble
Dims potential for better tomorrows
Seek the positive side, never borrow
The following day's ill-defined boggle
Consider Egypt's stubborn king Pharoah
No successes come without a struggle.
Never seeing magic, the droll muggle
Knowing not a miracle may follow
One learns, interestingly, to juggle
A pity to wallow in life's sorrow.
I think unlikely we will ever know
Success, only enjoying fate's snuggle
Avoid looking for the better morrows
To focus on our problems and trouble.
Struggles come in quicker-time, redouble
Sometimes successes bring slow bravados
Concentrating on a problem's rubble
Dims potential for better tomorrows
So, learn to balance your joys and sorrows
Focus on the forward steps, not trouble
From tomorrow's woes surely don't borrow
Above all, be especially humble,
...No successes come without struggle.
