‘Road is long and narrow
For the ones who want to win
To be an inspiration
To want what life can give
Through sweat and blood,
You can achieve wild hopes and dreams
Though enemies flood
You will defeat their schemes
Take heart and give it all you got
Make your worries small, mistakes forgot
Love and be loved
Give and receive
Help and be helped
Then, in YOU they’ll believe
Those who are weak, will be filled by your strength
Knowing you’d go to any length
The future smiles at the hard work you do
It knows you were among the few who knew
Progress comes with pain
It is inevitable
You must be willing to hurt, in order to grow
So hold your head high
Walk within radiant light
Because your future self is waiting to be fed
By your present self that brings in the bread

Good positive write.
Lovely “ progress comes with pain “ great line .... very cool 😎 poem
Thanks!
I like the fact that this is an "Inspirational" poem. In particular the lines, "Progress comes with pain", the last two lines of how "your future self " gets fed by "your present self," and how "in order to grow' one must be willing to accept some "hurt." All true statements. Life is a series of changes all based on past experiences. Good work and an interesting poem. - Phil A.
Thanks for the comments Phil. Most people that have read the line about the present self feeding your future self, didn't get it. I am glad this poem spoke to you. I know it isn't full of original lines, much of it is cliche, but it was the rhythm and the ideas that are presented that really meant a lot to me. I was inspired after taking a class that featured videos of Les Brown.
