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! Written November 19, 2022

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!

I believe when you are knocked down, you get up, shake yourself off, and move on. Thanks, Nancy.
