Title: 'Perseverance'

1.
When you think
Big thoughts,
But relish
Small pleasures; 
God blesses you
In triple measures.

2.
This time,
Like all times
Is a very good one,
If you know,
What to do with it.

3.
There's nothing that's,
New under the sun.
So share some laughter
With another and
Express your wit.

4.
Exude larger than life confidence.

Throw your heart
Over the fence.
The rest will follow
You must never
In pity wallow.

5.
To be upset,
Over what you
Do not have,
Is to waste 
With great haste
All you do.

6.
To be wronged,
Is nothing unless,
You continue to
Remember it.

7.
Since nothing succeeds
Quite like success,
Just carry on
And do your best

8.
A smile
Is like a window
On your face,
To show your heart's  
In the right place

9.
All grace
Is bestowed
On Abraham's race;
No more in 
The desert to roam.

10.
Even a mosquito
Doesn't get a slap
On the back,
Gathering in volumes
Like a thunderclap,

11.
 Until it starts
To work,  
So as not
To result in
A surprising quirk.

12.
Had truth
Not been reversed,
Failure is really
Not the worst, 
 In the world.

13.
The very worst
Is not to try.
So don't
Let your life  
Just pass you by.

14.

Be you in charge;  
Broken or cut;The challenges,
Are precisely what,  
Make life so interesting. 

 
15.
Just like 
A game of cards 
Or pool,
Overcoming the barriers 

Make your life
More meaningful.

16.
And getting
Over the blocks
Can be engaging,
 And cool.
If you remember
Always that love
Is the rule.
