The Price Of Progress

God never let's the soul stand still

Our trials and troubles test the will

and strenghten us the bare the strain

Of dissapointment grief and pain.

We learn to fight against the blows,

That is how the spirit grows.

                                                                                                                     for every step of progress brings,

A wider  view of greater things.

                                                                                                       So in order to progress

We must suffer and be pressed

By the force of circumstance

Only thus can we advance.

But who wants an easy creed ?

Heaven would be cheap indeed

If we did not pay in tears,

for the wisdom of the years.
