this beautiful poem reminds us of the fact that we often struggle to find a
fairer view only to discover that we had it within reach al the time!

I think this poem shows that we are all faced with problems. He knew where
he wanted to go and what was on the other side, but he had to climb the
hill before he could get it. Determination.

This poem expresses the struggles people face daily. These struggles
although may seem tough are well worth it in the end.
