A Vendor's Life

A Vendor's Life

At times, sleepless nights, 
 Filled with worry and fears;
 The life of a vendor 
Means laughter and tears.

Patience and perseverence
 Are essential and soon learned.
An exceptional ability to 
Try again once burned.

Defeat's not an option;
 There's a desire to impress.
Gifted with talents,
And a need to express.

Optimism abounds,
As doubts are chased away;
No time for such thoughts
In a vendor's busy day.

Each day another chance
To attain a new goal.
It seems a vendor's life 
Is in the heart and soul.

With so much at stake
so what is the lure?
There's just nothing quite like
being an entrepeneur.
