The Way

Immanuel R. Knight

---

Don’t give up, traveler
No great thing is ever easy
I know you’re tired on that narrow path
Just keep trekking forward, believing
Alone you tread not, know this
Though others may laugh at your gait
Keep going, keep moving, and always persist
You are chosen, quite destined, by fate
It’s never easy alone in the wind
But I tell you there are treasures awaiting
You must keep moving, whether walking or crawling
No star is worth its weight in stating
Never give up in dead of night
Staring at ceiling alone
Remember he who hath given you life
While others gaze blindly at phone
Each is allotted their portion
There is treasure hidden in heartache
Beware the world’s moral extortion
Your journey is yours to make
