Short Perseveres Poems

In a place so far away

Confused what does he want?
In a place so lost and alone
What is it he seeks?
Is it adoration, fame or just identity?
He can’t answer these questions
But perseveres along
To his destiny...

Mom,
And Dad,
For daughter,
She rose alone,
Strong and decisive,
Compassionate giving,
She guided her completely,
Sharing a strength for life and love,
Losing her mother within the years,
She perseveres, solemnly rewarded....

Work hard towards your goals 
And never give up
Maintain your inner focus 
Strive in order to reach for the top 
Pitfalls present themselves 
But, you have to rise up through the air 
Go for that gold
Be the one who perseveres...

Our special child now perseveres to stand
wowing us along therapist's command
as I pray with faith*'s might
eyes closed midst nervous plight...
shame on me; doubting miracles' demand!

*Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast.
It is not proud, it is not rude.
It is not self-seeking.

Love is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,
but it rejoices in the truth.

Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails....

Perseverance is a virtue
Asset
Advantage
Quality

Pushes you
Go in the face of obstacles
Constant 
Giving of God’s will

Persevering through
Pain and suffering
An act of hope
Isn’t it?

Patient Perseverance
What a beautiful definition of hope
No matter your condition
Be hopeful each day

Each moment
Remember that God
Perseveres His love
For you

My husband is a father
And my son’s a dad as well,
A job at which the both of them
Do very much excel.

The one to whom my cards went
Has been gone for many years,
Though love, in all its stubbornness,
Still somehow perseveres.

Of course I think of him today 
And though we had to part,
There’ll always be a spot reserved
For him within my heart....

The real me 
Reads like a book
Cover to cover
Transparent and true
Emotionally clever
Perceptive and patient
Thinks deep as the sea
Though far from perfect
Wears her heart on her sleeve
Perseveres in faith
Loves without measure
Cares with compassion 
Lives life with intention
Encourages growth and healing 
Importance of connection 
Shes a rare gem, indeed
There's no other version

Fluffy white thing that just hangs there - 
a cotton ball of droplets
hovering below the blue plaster
that restrains the stars
from falling down...
 
A world beyond my reach -
fairy castles
in magical lands
where my every wish comes true,
and all that I love perseveres...
 
I long to travel there - 
amongst those dream worlds
to experience the liberation
so I look to you
and say,
take me there...

powerful piece de resistance
precise, provocative, posturing 
providing plebian pleasure

Statuesque as an Amazon woman,
Platinum or pewter? She perseveres 
Prodigious? Preternatural and pivotal

Regal, brilliant, a spiritualistic luster
She sparkles with pure effervescence,
glistens with a gloriousness unknown by most

I follow her pooling petticoat into the 
outer limits of my poetic imagination, 
expecting nothing less than perfection....

Until that day comes
I am here
Listening…
Silently…
As the sun and moon race against time
My sole existence persists and perseveres
Survives among the complete emptiness 
Internally,
I am incomplete
Externally,
I am not content
Living lacks enthusiasm
Yet, I know life is a blessing
Still…
I am waiting
For my circle to come full
Life’s lilies to blossom
For love to find me
To want life to continue
I am patiently waiting…
To enjoy my forever...

The heart  speaks and
Listen when all's lost
It has its own language
When all's lost-when it's  over
When it's overwhelming

The heart speaks
It speaks at last
It finally makes a point
Final decision,conviction
worries,misgivings
It speaks through
Body screams,chills
Overriding the mind

The heart  speaks
When the mind's undecided
When the head's hoping
When the spirit perseveres
The heart then speaks
With chills!chills! more chills
The heart speaks...

Love is being humble and selfless, caring and kind to all
Love hopes and trusts; is protective but not possessive

Love perseveres, going the distance above and beyond
Love is forgiving and keeps on giving without taking

If I lived in Alabama
I would so much disapprove
Of the attitude towards women
That I’d simply have to move.

There’s a revolution coming
And, despite those southern charms,
Many Alabama females
Should right now be up in arms.

For to challenge a decision
That’s been law for many years
Proves that women’s low-class status
In that state still perseveres.

I’ll not visit Alabama;
I don’t know why someone would
But I hope there will be protests
And perhaps they’ll do some good....
