A Faint Heart

A FAINT HEART By Tapiwa N. Maseko A faint heart Never find a fair lady On my proposal to receive a negative result I am always ready I don’t waste my time to ask eh! When failure has fallen on plan A I try from plan B up to Z Probably in the long run, I will find a rose bed Today I have hit the drum Maybe tomorrow good chance will come To be persistent to the same With no fear or shame I can’t turn to another The purpose is to win her as my lover Maybe she is looking for seriousness Of my love sickness I will just cling to my want Like branches to the stem of the plant Then eventually she will have no choice Rather to my proposal to send a positive response I know no pain No gain And giving up never But forward ever I don’t admit to failure Just as simple as saying Amen in response to pastor’s Hallelujah That’s why I send consecutive futile proposals Because I know persistence brings success
