When one begins to go astray
There’s hope to still resume the Way
Tugs and pulls may win the hour
Yet they need not have full power
Often there may feel the need
To give such tugs an undue heed
Hindsight shows they do not last
Forever, so hold strong and fast
Victory is sweet when won
Battles lost? Don’t call it done
Rising, seeking help from friends
Persevere toward worthwhile ends
