Because of your strong faith I kept the
Track
Who’s sharp-set stones my strength
Had well nigh spent
I could not meet your eyes if I turned
Back;
So on I went.
Because you would not yield to belief in me,
The threatening crags that rose my way
To bar
I conquered inch by crumbling inch-to
The goal afar.
And though I struggle toward it through
Hard years,
Or flinch, or falter blindly, yet within,
“ You can!” unwavering my spirit hears
And I shall win.
