"Beware Of Slowing Down"

This poem's about a lesson,

while training for your crown.

To always steady grow,

to beware of slowing down.

Learn something every day,

while on the battle-ground.

Get stronger every trial,

must beware of slowing down.

Must press ahead each day,

don't turn or look around.

Don't rest or think to quit,

just beware of slowing down.

For if you start to slow,

it'll make you fret and frown.

Watch greatness pass you by,

so beware of slowing down.

I learned my Holy lesson,

it's subtle yet profound.

A lesson of moving ahead,

it's beware of slowing down.

For when I rule in heaven,

I'll wear my golden crown.

Swiftly Bless my citizens,

I'll beware of slowing down.

I'll briskly fill their joy,

keep them safe and sound.

Serve with steady pace,

but beware of slowing down.

I'll serve them speedy fast,

so quick it will astound.

I'll lead them through eternity,

will beware of slowing down.

I'll think about my citizens,

my love for them abound.

I'll love with Holy zeal,

I'll beware of slowing down.
