Perseverance Is Victory

Perseverance Is Victory 



A wise man once taught me
The value of capital goods;
And that a mind is a trouble thing to waste.
For a man’s tongue is as deep as oceans floors.
And “For any man that lack knowledge; let him ask”.
To learn is to experience
And what I have experience all my life
Is Understanding
Grandpa; I wish you to know this:
For a man who is stripped of all things
Still has one God given freedom?
The choice to choose one’s own way.

I thank you for building a foundation within me,
That I must finish its constriction: with mind, body, and soul.
To our Lord, whom I owe all thy Glory.
I thank thy; for opening is Heavenly wall
And placing such a wise God fearing man;
On this earth to guild my way!!!

Thank You grandpa for being the strength beneath 
my wings…
