Today's Poem

Endurance

Who will stand the test of time?
Endurance can bring gifts divine
For giving up will lead to doom
Ahead of quitters what may loom?

Keep on, then, with the dreams you had
Don't worry when they think you're mad
For how could one who is not you
Begin to know what's plainly true

And yet beware, advice may come
And wisdom should be heard by some
For arrogance rarely helps you win
Humility is what lets you in

So when you're sure you know what's real
Keep on with strength, you know the deal
And once a few more years have flown
Endurance has ensured you've grown
