Perseverance

“I’ve got this,” he said. “No worries.
We’re good.”
And he just kept going and rolling along.
I wasn’t so sure that he understood.
But then, after all, he was young and strong.
Most people would wilt tracking try after try
Until every venture was spent.
But every time he landed
Flat on his back
He got up again,
Refused to relent.

Driven by diligence, bolstered by stamina,
So full of moxie and grit,
No one can question his pit bull tenacity
Fully refusing to quit.

So often a path might be littered with trials
And peril may get in the way,
But resolute mindset and
Pure perseverance
Will offer the sweetest bouquet.
