Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Sheer Persistence

When things are somehow going wrong
And get you in a funk,
It helps to try to lift those spirits 
That have sadly sunk.

Resorting to plan B or C
May boost your sagging state 
And going for a walk or ride
May more than compensate.

But trying different avenues 
To fix a major plight
May prove that sheer persistence 
Can make everything all right.

Terry Flood October 24, 2023 at 4:44 PM Hope you’re not seeking plan B or C, Ilene. The human spirit is a thing to be reckoned with…. At least until we get to plan Z… but then there’s hexadecimal… A smashing piece of positivity. Terry
