Everyone seeks a better life

One filled with happy cheer, basking in the Golden sun.

It sounds too good to be true too filled with fun

For a journey that all have begun.

Desire burns hot within one’s soul

Searching always for the end goal.

For the place that fills with tranquil peace

For a glimmer of gold in the far east.

There are easy ways, and bitterly hard ones.

Both gave their fruits, their own rewards.

But which one will you choose? Which goal shall you pursue?

The easy way gets you there fast, but one often finds it does not last.

The joy and pride begin to fade, and take on a far darker shade.

The harder way is full of challenges each will leave its scars.

But it’s reward is great. Much greater by far.

For now you’ve faced the battles. The others skipped right by.

You’ve proven your determination. And earned your peaceful rest.

The fruits of your labor are ripe, and by far the best.

So take your time when you choose, for even if you win, you might just lose
