The Last Mile

Close your eyes,

Reflect upon your lows and highs,

Be the person you need,

Grow a tree of hope, Plant that seed.

Treasure your success,

Forget your failure,

Cherish life, forget your distress,

You've come this far, You're a survivor.

Keep walking,

Even when you think, it's your last step,

Keep breathing,

Even when you think, it's your last breath.

The goal is nearer than you think,

When you want to give up,

You may be on success's brink,

Pick yourself up, for the last time, buck up!

It'll all be worth it,

In the end, you'll feel complete,

You'll look back and smile,

Feel proud that you didn't give up on that last mile.
