Perseverance Is The Key

Going through a tough time lately

But don't you fret for me

I'll come up smelling of roses as usual

So fear not my honeybees

It ain't easy being this happy old critter

Days aren't always the best

Life has a way of challenging our resolve

Kinda like a reality test

Hang in there friends, it's a brand new day

Perseverance is always the key

This old duffer has discovered the secret

Smile, it will set your heart free

So let me know how that works out for you

No charge for this bit of advice

Anything I can do to help my fellow poets

Happiness has a very small price
