Analysis of At the End of the Journey



Life is filled with lots of surprises,
And isn't that the way it should be?
Nobody said it would be easy,
Nor not filled with tradegy!

But at the end of the journey,
You will certainly get to rest,
From all your labors and despair,
And rewarded for passing your test!
