ACHIEVEMENT by THEODOCIA PEARCE

First Line: BETTER TO CLIMB THE STEEP HILL OF EXISTENCE
Last Line: MINE IS A GROWING SOUL!
Subject(s): KELLER, HELEN (1880-1968); SOUL; TIME;
Better to climb the steep hill of Existence
Than to watch others climb;
Better to struggle on with strong persistence
Than to lose pace with Time.

Better to reach footsore the postern portal
Than win with ease the goal;
Better to know, though weary, torn, and mortal,
Mine is a growing soul!
