Poem Perseverance
Efforts of purpose resolute and unvarying
Moving along the pathway of outcome
Unremitting to the goal intended
No consideration of straying
Determined through the delays and frustrations
Inspiration fuels the course
Stumbling occasionally in pursuit
…on target nonetheless
Through the storms, and merciless encounters
…a mind in focus and a heart beats still
Covered grounds conquered with insistence
No way I shall be turning back
Too much to lose is at stake
Surrender is not my forte
In it to the finish, I am
…from the beginning, that was the plan
Triumph and accomplishment wait
…inside perseverance’s gate
The elation of the proverbial light
It’s something worthy of experience
...again and again
