Sonnet: The Best Takes Time

All things take time to reach maturity; A fruit must grow in size ‘fore it ripens; A work should keep some kind of purity; It takes some years before a Bard well pens. Records are broken not in simple ways; A second off the track-record is great; All achievements take place by sweat and days; If things go wrong, then people call it fate. A world’s wonder takes years and men to build; An invention needs effort without end; Discoveries by pluck is but God-willed; The ways to mighty peaks but narrow wend. Great things in life are achieved by hard work; The little set-backs should not one’s mind irk.
