PERSEVERANCE THE HALLMARK OF SURVIVAL!
PERSEVERANCE THE HALLMARK OF SURVIVAL!
The Universe wasn’t built in a day; so are the creations of the World,
Grafting and perspiring have made them stand so firm to survive;
So grand and trustworthy, just as the mindset of the Heavenly Creator;
And so they keep forging ahead majestically, despite millions of centuries!
No man is an island in a humane land; still, some opt to be isolates,
Whereas others swim all along the course for they’re scared of risks; but
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going and eventually wins;
For they’ve the endurance and are well prepared to meet any eventuality!
‘A watched pot never boils’ so are the people who’re ready to graft!
Hence they watch and wait with great valor as they know what’s in offing;
As a stitch in time saves nine; no doubt they act instantly; as they know
A rain before seven is fine before eleven; and so they never grumble!
Just as the squeaky wheel gets grease; good things come to those who wait;
A shoemaker’s son may go barefoot for he might have been uncared for;
Still you got to hope for the best but prepare for the worst!
But remember to keep your friends close and your enemies still closer!
What? If it ain’t broke, don’t ever fix it for the job is unwarranted;
And good things come to those who wait and so you got to exercise patience!
Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and so you judge, keeping your eyes wide open!
Better untaught than ill taught for any misunderstanding makes you a beast, virtually!
Stop, listen, understand and then proceed, for there lies a long way up!

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Thanks for your poetic response 'No truer words stated with such poetic flair'. Fells so good to hear such words, but then my poem is full of old proverbs.
