By Victor Ivanov for Denali
It’s a rough and rocky road
When your nose is to the grindstone
When your day starts before the early bird gets the worm
and at night, the path is lit by burning the midnight oil
So many times, you’d wish the journey was over
Then looked back and remember how far you’d come
Every plateau, a place to rest and take a breath
Over every hill and through the valleys
Brimstone and fire will not stop you
But through them your steels have sharpened
and you’ll have learned just how heavy is the head that wears the crown
So as the ink dries on the last page of the epic
You may feel the journey is over, yet, a new one has already begun
And every life lesson learned, and heartfelt connection made upon the way,
will be with you on the next rough and raggy road
