A day of great joy
The worldwide unveiling of
The Progress Haiku
Neither rain nor snow
Could ever keep me away
From that which I love
Despite constant strife
The beacon of light remains
This Progress Haiku
It is my desire
The world could not hold me back
From this grand moment
I could not be stopped
Even by the world's armies
From my true purpose
Year in and year out
Delivering this to you
The Progress Haiku
