The Journey

Each day a battle.
Each step a victory.
Each moment a challenge.
Each thought a sword.
Which way does it cut?
What must we face?
Will we be prepared?
Are we armed for the race?
Take captive each thought.
Take each moment in stride.
Focus onward with honor.
Raise your banner with pride.
For the victory isn't
Achieved with the prize.
The victory's won
With each step realized.
It's all in the journey.
