Sonnet Xxiii Persist

Be Strong and Courageous
Says the Grand-Master
The Harvest is Plenteous
The Fields are Wide
Your Possibilities Are Endless

Be Strong and Courageous
I know you’re so sure of yourself
I know your Dreams are so Real to you
Likewise, real is the Messenger of Misery

You don’t have to be Pessimist
But be ye optimist of him too
Late or sooner, it is the path of greatness
Be strong and Courageous
Only the Persistent Do Exploits.

A common denominator in life of the great and small is that at certain point in life, challenges come to punctuate our free flow. Some quit, but many others persist till they conquer through. Every victory is a promotion. Challenges, no matter how great, is not meant to overwhelm man. If we persist long enough, victory can’t be denied. Such is the story of great men we see. We need to live life, always ready for whatever challenges that come our way and have a registered assurance of victory.
