We are the Few

“The Few”

The easy roads are crowded,
And the level roads are jammed;
The pleasant little rivers
With the drifting folks are crammed.
But off yonder where it’s rocky,
Where you get a better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travelers are few.

Where the going’s smooth and pleasant
You will always find the throng,
For the man, more’s the pity,
Seems to like to drift along.
But the steeps that call for courage,
And the task that’s hard to do,
In the end result in glory
For the never-wavering few

We may have a rocky climb in order to get where we're going, but the view and the company along the way are unbeatable.

My favorite thing about being a blogging writer is that I am never alone. None of us are--we always have each other to lean on and to celebrate with. How wonderful is that?! 

Thanks for the support this week. You all mean the world to me.
