ENDLESS TOIL

When through the nights we toil
and have nothing to show for it -
Sweat and blood they together broil
and someone on the race did us beat.

Respect showered on who came first

while others would be forgotten still.

Imagine the passion and his thirst

while he worked up on his daily drill!

Every excess dripping warm sweat

he spends away from the prying eyes -

Every struggler does patiently wait

for the glorious destiny as his prize.

So struggle, toil and do work more

as someone else is fighting for glory -

'A dedicated will' above all would score

and legends are born through a story.
