| Category - Emotion | | A Poem from the The Poet and His Thoughts Collection | | Persistence - Viewed 352 Times | David Devaney
Website
November 15, 2007 |
Persistence is the constancy
That every one should know
And understand as they step
Into the horizon that is their existence
It is the strength and courage to pursue
In spite of overwhelming odds
That fatigues even the strongest
Of those in pursuit of their dreams
It is the courage to commit
The energy to continue
And the willingness to accept
The satisfactions of each given moment
It is the heart and stamina
Of everyone of us not clouded
By the avarice of our gilded surroundings
Which intrude continuously upon our happiness
Persistence is inspiration
It is creativity and fulfillment
It is the ability to recognize
The innate talent that is ours alone
It is love and its commitment
Not merely through recognition
But most importantly through
The effort we make for it to be fulfilled
It is spirituality and humanness
It is the goodness in mankind
And true forgiveness shared
Because we are whom we choose to be
It is you and I and our heartbeats
It is each breath we take
It is each moment that we live
And most importantly of all
It is the acceptance of who we are
So Mote It Be | | © 2007 David Devaney |
