Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

A Little Pluck

There’s nothing like a little pluck
To somehow get things going
For you can’t simply count on luck
To grow the seeds you’re sowing.

A gentle push, a subtle poke
Can change the day’s direction
And hopes you thought went up in smoke
Can have a resurrection.

Of course, there is no guarantee – 
Some efforts may be thwarted – 
But if your wishes come to be,
Your pluck will be rewarded.
