Effort

the best way to live

 

Effort leads the way to win

in everything that we do

lacking effort is the sin

as we search for what is true

 

When you can agree

that it is best to try

working harder than before

you have some hope to fly

 

If you have to ask

why this should be your goal

you will suffer with every task

and failure will take its toll

 

When someone refuses to give up

solving a problem of their concern

they can look forward to satisfaction

and their success is a sweet return

 

Earning is the watchword

the mantra of the best

that is how they surpass

the efforts of the rest

 

Place little value on a gift

unless it is one you gave

your effort will give you a lift

and a memory that you will save

 

These words may not help

in your desire to succeed

but by giving your best effort

you surely will fulfill your need
