A Determined Man

I think myself a lucky guy
The more I fail, the harder I try
Success don’t come easy I suspect
Nothing comes from benign neglect
So I keep pushing the envelope
Won’t take no, nada, nil, or nope
‘Til I accomplish what I can
I am such a determined man!

Duke Beaufort Date: 11/19/2022 2:37:00 PM Sounds like life. It's not so easy to accomplish things we envision. Things need to be sold to others if we're going to do things in groups. But whatever we do that will change this world even in the smallest way ain't easy. You have written so many poems. I am just blown away. Keep on going!

It's nice to hear a poem about what some would call stick to it ness if there is such a word..
