Nothing Lasts Forever

Someone mentioned in a letter
Your best is getting better
Their unfettered glee and hope
Was seen through the envelope

"I guess you know now
There is always a 'somehow'
We're endowed with great ability,
The greatest shown in humility"

Nothing lasts, but exceptions exist
I only ask "Forever persist."
