Game Fish Swim UP Stream

Game Fish Swim UP Stream
It's easy to DRIFT as the current flows:
It's easy to move as the deep tide goes:
But the answer comes when the break
ers crash
And strike the soul with a bitter
lash
When the goal ahead is endless fight
Through a sunless day and starless
night.
When the far call breaks on the sleep
ers dream,
Only the game fish swims up stream"
The spirit wanes where it knows no
The soul turns soft down the Easy
Road;
There's, fun enough in the thrill and
But Life in the main is an uphill Job.
And it's better SO. where the softer
game
Leaves too much fat on a weakened
Where the far. call breaks on the
sleeper's dream,
Only the game fish swims up stream"
When the clouds bank in-and the
soul turns blue
When Fate holds fast and YOU cant
break through
When trouble sweeps like a tidal
wave,
And Hope is ghost by an open grave
You have reached the test in a fran.
of mind
Where only the cutters fall behind.
here the lar call breaks on the
s!eeper's dream,
only the game fish swims up stream"
