With hardship comes ease

With hardship comes ease.

Nothing is 100% awful,

Because there is always a pillar,

A sturdy, reliable pillar,

That's always there to support you.

 

Look now, do you see?

It's by your side,

waiting for you.

So grab on,

Don't be shy,

It'll always be there for you,

And isn't that awesome?

 

Do you see now?

That something is always here for you,

Always here to whisper to you,

"Look at yourself, and look around you,

Can't you see how awesome everything is?

Time won't stop, so neither can you,

You've already come so far, why stop now?"

 

Can't you see now?

That pillar,

That beautiful, constant pillar,

It's still there,

Still at your side,

Just as it'll always be.

No matter how many times you trip, stumble, or fall,

It'll always be right by your side,

Waiting for you to grab on and stand again

 

Now grab on!

Hold tight and run!

Run with time,

Run with your pillar at your side,

For no matter who else may cross your path,

Or whatever road bump appears along the way,

That pillar will be by you side,

And it will be ready to help you up, again, again, and again!

 

So hold on tight,

Because there's a wild road ahead,

A wild, exciting, yet not entirely cleanly paved road,

But there are awesome things ahead,

And you wouldn't want to miss a minute of it.
