Perseverence

Sharing A one room Tenement, He toiled When the family slept. He sat On the kitchen floor, And did his calculations On the bare floor, With a piece of charcoal. Calm resolve on his face, Couldn’t care less What the others Had to say to demotivate. He had a vision. Dearth of means Didn’t waver, Him from his decision. Despite ridicule, He carried on with a smile. Nothing could stop Him from reaching the top. Soon his time came, He too had A shot At success and fame. Taught his children Hard work always pays. Now Everyone comes To felicitate And Ask for favours.
