The Risk of Going for Gold

Resilience is the thing,
That is hardest to hold on to,
Because its reward is always around the corner,
But never in front of you,

And yet the lesson learned when it finally comes,
Is perhaps the greatest reward of all,
Much greater than the immediate,
Pleasure that's financial,

Much greater than what you can realize,
Realizing what you have to do,
To get everything you ever wanted,
'Cause you won't do it, will you?

And that's alright,
Because it would require resilience,
And you could spend your whole life working it,
And never get the benefits.
