Persevere
You have to persevere
with everything you do in life.
If you don’t persevere,
you will never get what you want.
You try and try with no success
and feel like throwing the towel in.
If you do that with everything,
how can you ever succeed?
You have to persevere
in everything you do,
it may take a month
and maybe even a year,
but if you persevere with it,
you will succeed in the end.

Perseverance
You taught me Dad, from when so young,
To always persevere.
If at first you don't succeed
You'd murmur in my ear.
Don't give up you always said.
There's no such word as can't.
So never wilt, just try again,
And never say "I shan't".
For it's worth so much that glittering prize.
Worth the best that you can do.
Sometimes you feel you'll triumph not,
But you will, for I know you!
So Dad I simply want to say
That persevere I do,
And when I feel like giving up,
My thoughts they wing to you.
You taught me long, and I learnt hard,
That if I want to succeed,
I must simply do whatever it takes,
To complete that word or deed.

Working with children with autism has provided me with an opportunity to see the world in a different way. I see them strive to overcome obstacles and persevere, and learn to persevere myself. They are my inspiration.

Press Them More
P eople power against the evil never fail the battle
R ealities has it that the attainment of success is always possible
E specially to those that persevere to the end
S ome people lost hope one last rung to the success ladder
S o should you persevere to the end no matter the inducement to do otherwise
T he road to success is always full patholes
H ardly you got any comfort but the biggest traffic of challenges
E ndure through the dark cloud to get the silver lightening
M ust not you bow down no matter the storm!
M y message for you is just a reminder
R emember that any challenges before you can be turned into an opportunity
E specially if you believes in the beauty of your dream.

Running Around In Circles
There are days when you feel
you are going to get so much done.
So much for good intentions.
When you start to get
the old run around.
It seems that life
is going around in circles.
What started as a lead ahead
now has you thirty yards behind.
You feel like you should have stayed in bed
and got up the other side,
but you don’t.
Instead, you persevere
to go running round in circles
all the day long.

I admire the human race
i admire the human race
though god is way beyond
comprehension
beyond their time, intelligence
yet they persevere
to find him, get close to him
i admire the human race
though god is such a
hard subject to swallow
yet they persevere
trying all means to get close to him
some inspired, some misled,
some fall, some brush him aside
yet the whole human race
never gives him up
i admire the human race
who could hang on to something
they could never even see

For 2009 To All Poets
always choose to heal
not to hurt
to forgive and not
to despise
to persevere and
not to quit
to smile and not
to frown
to love and not to hate
at the end of life
what matters is not what we bought
but what we built
not what we got but what
we shared
not our competence but
our character
and not our success
but our significance
live a life that matters
live a life that cares
have a blessed and
a prosperous new year
to all.
