And when you reach each new plateau
Stop long enough to rest;
Glance back to see how far you've come,
Then start again with zest.

Like laurels, each plateau in life
Brings certain happiness;
But if you linger there too long
You'll never reach success.

For plateaus are for resting,
To keep your goal in view
While gaining strength to reach the top
Of life God's planned for you.
