The Vanished Lover

Though success comes from hard work, growth is a process, the journey is long, and ability comes from constant self-improvement.

But without the glory of a life once lived, there would be no effort in the present. Without hope of staying alive, there would be none of today's splendor.

If life were compared to a journey, then there could be no successful life. If growth were compared to a process, then life would have no aspirations.

Without youthful struggle, there could be no perfect ambition today. Without an ending, there could be no beginning.
