We carry on through it all

the endless climbs

and the rough terrain

we adapt to climate, light, and night

to continue on our journey

we celebrate the joys

and shoulder our burdens

at times so much more than we can carry

but still we take that weight upon ourselves

refusing to shrug

or cast our challenges aside

we carry on

no matter what lies ahead

unstoppable engines

roaring with power – Caroline A. Slee
