Poem -
Endeavor To Persevere
..................Thank You Chief Dan George!
Followed promising flags, they faded into rags. I endeavor to persevere.
I loved the outdoors, heat causing my sores. I endeavor to persevere.
Followed crowds of advice, it only ended well thrice. I endeavor to persevere.
Admired her curve, heard; you've got the nerve! I endeavor to persevere.
Tested my fate, it echoed; you'll never rate. I endeavor to persevere.
Some friends I have made, then I was betrayed. I endeavor to persevere.
I've chosen the right, wrong promised a fight! I endeavor to persevere.
Though life is brief and much turns to grief! I endeavor to persevere.
I was never defeated! for at the end I was greeted. Now forever I'll revere.

Thank You Lorris !
The deserving notion, from a poem with motion. Just keeps the flow, with repetition it grows. The engagement is active, like a fish on a hook. And the first line, that's all it took. Love this one, Jim!Â
I let you off the hook Max! lol! XD!
Excellent write Jim x
Honored Marion!
Jim reads like a mantra from one's heart.Â
A more than fine inner voice calling to instil a virtue of strength and resilience to move forward so to speak and get on with one's life in the most admirable never say die way.
Great! Enjoy reading a well written pick me up, snap out of it man, tonic for the troops poem.
And this has it in poetic spades and delivers straight and true in its well meaning rhyme within a rhyme and reinforced by the repetition astutely used.
Nicely done Jim and welcome echoes of that great Max Ehrmann poem, on how to get through life, Desiderata about it.

love your wonderful comments, wisdom and friendship Shaun!
