You have to start to finish.
You must begin to end.
Only a fool or a lazy man
expects a reward, but never began.
Nothing comes on a platter of gold.
How many times have you been sold
a lie that sounded too good to be true,
something you instinctively knew
would never work and didn't?
A word of advice from a friend, if you will.
No result will come unless and until
you roll up your sleeves and give it a go,
pace yourself, start out slow.
And before you know it, you've made it through,
if you want it done, it's up to you.
How many times have I heard people say:
"Well, this is certainly not my lucky day."
Well, luck, my friend, is what you do,
from start to finish, seeing it through.
And that's because this saying is true:
You have to start to finish.
You must begin to end.
