Persistence

It was a call
Of a dramatic fall
From which he stood tall
Unmovable like a pole
Staring at what was on the wall
On it were memories of his struggling soul
The soul that got kicked like a ball
By chances that existed once & for all
His ambitions gave birth to a goal
A goal he's cherished since small


So ...

Letting go
Of seeds he sow
To watch them grow
After what he saw
Deserves a big NO
Because as you know
Persistence gives you more
Especially when you overcome your downfall

Amen, Clement ... strength, change, progress, growth - they never come without struggle and sacrifice, and embracing new things with those expectations gives us one further step in the right direction. Wonderful write - blessings!
