Perseverance

The stuff of legends lives inside me The super quality of the brave and courageous The visionary's pedestal is my own pedestal Perseverance is alive inside me I have stood face to face with turmoil I have seen the passing times pass me by I have stood on the pedestal of my faith I have looked straight ahead I have seen the unseen with my naked aye Perseverance is a path taken by the brave A tumultuous pilgrimage of the faithful Perseverance is a weapon for visionaries A pot full of hope for the hopeful Perseverance is a precious gift I walked with my thoughts in my heart I tamed my fearful mind I taught my heart the tenets of faith I disciplined my nervous brain I stand victorious within my mind, heart and spirit
