progress

 

Love's labor

Underscores everything—

Love, courtship, heart. 

Each step forward

Immediately opens knowledge

With sacrifice, dedication

With this legacy, 

This progress of both the mind and character,

This lofty goal of perfection. 

The price committed to can uphold

The arrival of direction—

To winning hearts.
