Best Persevere Poems
I had a tragic car accident
Best friend passed away
Told to be vegetable in bed
Persevere through the struggles of life
Was in a manual wheelchair
Power wheelchair
Walker
Quad cane
Finally the regular cane
Persevere through the struggles of life
Walked down the street
Tripped then fell
Walked through College buildings
Tripped then fell
Persevere through the struggles of life
The almighty God, over looking
Heard people’s prayer
Told Jesus Christ to assist His people
Persevere through the struggles of life
Sometimes I see people whisper
Sometimes people converse
Sometimes people give inspiration
Persevere through the struggles of life
The almighty God, over looking
Heard people’s prayer
Told Jesus Christ to assist His people
Persevere through the struggles of life
Saw my childhood friend
Ate at Cheese Factory
Felt different
Turned out to be different
We’re all happy, conversing, delighted
Persevered the struggles of life
Almighty God, overlooking
Heard people’s prayer
Told Jesus Christ to assist His people
Persevered the struggles of life
A friend was inspired
Dreams to be an inspiration
For people to have perseverance that requires courage
For courage is the rarest quality of an individual
Persevere through the struggles of life
To have perseverance requires courage
Overcoming doubt and fear
Paralyzes spirituality requires courage Achieve perseverance in human spirit
The almighty God, over looking
Heard people’s prayer
Told Jesus Christ to assist His people
Persevere through the struggles of life
Persevere persevere persevere
That’s what the lord has said to me
Run the race before you
Concentrate your thoughts on me
And you will have the victory
But I am tired I said to him
I’m weary to the bone
My brain feels like lead
And my body wants to sleep
I need to receive in peace
Persevere, my sweet child
Trust in me to keep you near
\there is no need to fear
Read and trust in my every word
And it will set you free
But how do I rest always in you
How do I let go of my fears
How do I find the strength to fight?
In a life full of battles and woes
??I have conquered every fear and triumphed over terror... ??
?? Angels whispers in my ears chanting Persevere or perish... ??
?? Now I'm starring in the mirror searching for my merits ...??
?? I'm content with all my flaws so now I never get embarrassed... ??
You are not who you Appear a fact that's so apparent. ??
?? Evolution of Sincere and this world I shall inherit ??
?? in pursuit I found perfection perseverance never careless ??
?? crossed my heart and hoped to die but I survived through loves rebellion
?? Now I'm stalking all my dreams so I don't have one to sell ya... ??
?? If you ain't trying to do the same then I don't know what to tell you... ??
???? I was born to be a king so make my sure crown is tailored ????
Express yourselves unabashedly my friends
Because no one can honestly give you a grade
Write your poems with your own hands
Make them natural, beautiful and homemade.
Don’t worry about foes, faux, aliens and others
Just do what you need to do my friends
To find good, fair, impartial or sagacious readers
Be creative or innovative to embark on your own trends.
All poems are important, relevant and famous
All poems are born from a particular or divine inspiration
Be bold, brave, controversial, generous and ingenuous.
Bias exists even in literary art poetry. Ignore the laughs
Continue writing. This world is full of odds, hurdles and gaffes
Be happy! It’s needless to yearn for a standing ovation.
P.S. This poem is dedicated to my friend, Juan Felix Of Orlando and others.
Juan, I wish you a speedy recovery. You're in my thoughts, prayers and poems.

Broaden your view… but narrow your focus.
Reach for the stars… but don’t lose your roots.
Don’t fear to dream… but keep your perspective.
Open your mind… but don’t forsake truth.
Try to be strong… but don’t condemn weakness.
Strive for horizons… but stay on the path.
Work for success… but don’t fear your failing.
Race for the finish… but not recklessly fast.
Hold your head high… but don’t look down on others.
Know what is yours… but be willing to share.
Live in the light… but don’t fear the darkness.
And when you feel lost, know that God’s always there.
And most importantly: persevere…

A lifelong dream crushed in an instant,
Could that be possible? Even if you were to be persistent?
Whilst looking ahead, life stabs you in the back,
Whilst pushing yourself to your break point, you finally crack,
All but’s left to do, is to lose hope, strength, humanity,
And collapse into a state of utter insanity,
But why give in, when u can defeat?,
Why not win, but the devil meet?
No stars or moon;
The night sky is cloudy,
Like the thoughts in my mind;
Jumbled and incoherent,
Will it ever clear?
The doubts and confusion,
Dark and heavy;
Weighing down my heart,
But I'll fly high and above;
This veil of resistance,
I will rise above it all;
On top of the world once more,
Because no pothole is too deep;
Nor any barrier too thick,
That I cannot overcome;
No one can hold me down,
I am meant to soar;
No shackles can contain my spirit,
Not life; not love; not fear;
If it can't kill me,
I will persevere;
Not to be made an example of,
But to lead by example...
Cue To Persevere
I recognized you today,
As little girl waved at me
From behind a glass pane
As she passed by
Her sister waved at me too.
I saw you in the moon,
With its silvery glow tonight.
Your power is majestic.
You gaiety of spirit was
Brimming with as much joy
As wine would ever make one.
Yet just a tiny drop of your power
Is enough to fuel the entire
Planet with you source of joy.
Your wave at me and your moonlit wink,
Gives me hope and tells me to persevere.
For you’ve got everything under
Johnny grew up on the hard side of town,
Every day he got up somehow life beat him down.
The people, in his eye, were not very kind,
He’d rather move on and leave them behind.
His mom and dad had no money for that,
Barely scraping by they ate as well as a rat.
In town the people ignored him like he was not present,
The storekeepers chased him and weren’t very pleasant.
Johnny helped out the best that he could,
By taking odd jobs like chopping wood.
Dad worked all day out in the fields,
And every year they hoped for large yields.
Dad worked the ground in the dirt and the mud,
Until he had nothing left to give and was spitting blood.
But dad’s ill health has taken its toll,
And as he lays in bed mom prays for his soul.
Johnny needs to step up and be the man of the house,
Cruelly while looking for a job he’s rejected as a louse.
Such ignorance can’t deter him in his quest,
He will show them no longer can he be suppressed!
He finds a job in a factory on the outskirts of town,
With nothing but smoke and stench all around.
As long as he can find a way to make money the conditions never mattered,
Though looking into the hollow eyes of the workers he sees the dreams this factory has shattered.
Johnny went home and told his mom about his new job,
She seemed happy enough, but later on that night he heard her softly sob.
You see, she wanted the best for him like every mother does,
Guilt and sadness is how she felt every day because that’s just not how it was.
The factory work was filthy and bad,
And she knew if he stayed there he’d end up like his dad.
Time rolled by and Johnny did his part,
Until his mom fell ill – some say of a broken heart.
When she was gone Johnny saved his pay,
He had plans for a better life one day.
That time eventually came as he boarded a train,
The excitement of leaving town was overloading his brain!
When he took his money to the station to buy the ticket,
He didn’t care where to – he let the station master pick it.
As the train left the station and slowly moved down the track,
Johnny glanced out the window with a grin and knew he was never coming back.

Being sincere
Should be more focused on my career
Instead of beer
Hottest day so far this year
Let's get one thing clear
I'm here
To persevere
As I steer
All across the sphere
Taking it to another gear
Going beyond the top of the tier
Regardless if others try to interfere
Still going to pioneer
Not one to complain
Continuing to train
Still much to gain
Out to make my claim
After what I aim
Never been a game
Put some respect on my name
Across any terrain
Using my brain
Instead of letting it go down the drain
Too late, never will call it quits
Taking risks
Using all my gifts
In order to get rich
While I exist
I'm not going to talk about how life's a b****
P-ersevere through persecution
U-ntil the end of time;
R-ace of life you must finish
I-n victory so sublime.
T-hreats truly may come, to test your faith and composure;
A-s long as you trust in God, certainly you can endure.
E-xpect the false accusations,
S-aid by your faith's enemy,
C-all on the Father above,
A-sk Him to make you steady.
L-ies that are thrown at you
A-re fabricated by the devil;
D-o hold on to the truth,
A-nd fight the foe's ill will.
F-ourth morn in April,
L-ife and strength are yours;
O-ne new page is turned,
R-eading is another course.
E-levate to the highest level of your determination;
S-oar toward triumph, braving the hostile horizon.
A-ll the aches let your eyes
S-ee the Lord's promised land;
U-nder His true loving care,
N-ew glory comes from His hand.
C-ry not because of pain,
I-nstead smile with conviction;
O-vercome the harassment,
N-eed to persevere through persecution.
Running out of steam.
Running low on fuel.
Got to feed the fire
Before the engines cool.
There’s no slowing down.
It’s not time to brake.
Got to forge ahead.
There’s too much at stake.
Ever on and up. Staying on the track.
There’s no giving up and I am never going back.
Chugging like that train struggling up the hill.
Trying hard to change from “think I can” to “Yes, I will.”
Everyone has doubts.
Everyone has fears.
They just drag you down.
Jamming up your gears.
Deep within your heart
You can feel the heat.
Keeps you moving on.
Helps you to compete.
Ever on and up. Staying on the track.
There’s no giving up and I am never going back.
Chugging like that train struggling up the hill.
Trying hard to change from “think I can” to “Yes, I will.”
Don’t mean to complain
But it’s getting hard
Pulling all this weight,
Dragging all these cars.
But dwelling on the pain
Only leads to fail.
I’m not made to fly.
I’m not built to sail.
Ever on and up. Staying on the track.
There’s no giving up and I am never going back.
Chugging like that train struggling up the hill.
Trying hard to change from “think I can” to “Yes, I will.”
Muscles pumping
Gears turning
Lungs gasping
Mind racing
Petal round the park
Father knows
Trials faced
Handicaps
Overcome
Choices good and bad
Show you
How to
Live here
Live now
Move beyond the pain
Got to go
Got to move
Got to push
Got to focus
Focus past the pain
14 yards
14 miles
Leg cramps
Don’t care
Only that it ends
Stop
Off path
Curbside
Kneel down
Look close
Tiny little plants
They Have
Pushed through
Concrete
Preserved
Never giving up.
Hey, that's me
Man, I was cute as I could be
If only I was a girl with my blue eyes and curly curls
Maybe that could've been me
Yo, that's me
Man, I was fast as I could be
If only I was a black kid that ran fast as I did
Maybe that could've been me
Ha, that's me
Man, I was funny as I could be
If only they laughed me instead of my a.d.d.
Maybe that could've been me
Yes, that's me
Man, I was smart as I could be
If only they seen the potential in me
Maybe that could've been me
Wow, that's me
Man, I was destin as I could be
I would of made a great daddy
Maybe that could've been me
Well, that's me
Man, of the man I could of been
If I only had a friend in the end
If only they had the chance to really know me
Maybe that could've been me, a happy me, a wealthy me, a better me
Maybe that could've been me
The me I was truly ment to be
I've been trying to write a poem
Just to exercise my mind.
But it seems to take forever
Just to think up a couple of lines.
I find it so irritating
That I've wasted some much time
But in the end its been well worth it
Especially when the words all rhyme.
