Persevere Poems

Blessed Are Those Who Stand For Christ Unashamed

Blessed is the one unashamed to stand for Christ.
I’m not perfect, I’ll never be.
But repping Christ ain’t about perfection
It’s about running to the well of life,
To the one who is perfect,
Who is life.
He’s the one who gives life,
Who shapes broken vessels into his likeness.

So come – come with your voice,
Come with your gifts, your hands

To Overcome Inertia

An object, once it’s resting tends to stay there, it is true.
Forgetting its priorities and all it needs to do.
To be a man in motion, a dream of awesome bliss…
To be a force that no one can resist…

 	To overcome inertia and not lie there where I fell.
 	To shake free of my shackles and

Train Song

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

A Lonely Hymn At Night

Time, a pathway to the final end
Death, a pathway to a new beginning
Time and death are subtle allies
One to reveal, the other — a fulfilment

A sad one ponders alone under the night sky
Wondering at the beautiful tempest of life
Sick, secluded and submissive to the raining flows
His shimmering tears' lost in his vast but empty sighs

Now

"I shall be like a tree planted by the river ... "  Psalm 1:3

Fly high

Fly high little bird,
for one day, through gales you'll reach -
your destination.

Perseverance

Competing against windy air
Doing its best to stay in flight
Wondered why it would even dare
As it wrestled with all its might

Pretty bird that was very small
A newborn of very few days
Yet the small, feathered one gave all
To make it through the turbulent maze

It perched on the lamp by my door
Worn from fighting with gravity
Thought, would

Learning to Persevere

Learning to play piano again
I feel like a toddler learning how to walk
My fingers fumble and like a sin
A wrong note yells at the air
The note hangs choking melodies 
My brain aspires to create
Oh how I miss my youthful fingertips
That were nimble flexible and accurate
Now nerve damage curves my abilities
And gasp I must ignore reading

Persevere In Writing Your Poems My Friends

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.

That One Guy

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

Persevere

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

Worm

Whish goes the breeze underneath wing 
Slam goes the claws against the earth 
Scratching to find the buried beings 
Brown bugs worms hard at work jerked 

Crush is the end of many of us 
Not always meeting ideal end 
Tis easier to win losing is tough 
Smash path of white winged wins 

Slithering worm who

Persevere

Desde sempre
pratique 
persistir
e fazer 
do continuar 
um estilo de vida.

Restaure a fé
em si,
de segunda
a segunda
para sempre
faça mais
e mais.

Persevere

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.

Implored To Persevere

I'm believing that next year,
 will be better than the last,
   One thing for sure,
 I won't dwell in the past.

   I cannot recall,
 anything easy or simple,
   The entire year,
 I'm in pain and a cripple.

   I can barely walk,
 my hips will not engage.
