Analysis of Perseverance
One foot in front of the other, sometimes slower when when the heart feels more numb,
The blood supply is still present to help you walk, skip and eventually run,
Still stand when the weight gets heavy, even if at times the shoulders struggle to lift,
The discipline that is carried forward will turn out to be an ultimate gift,
Do be openminded at times when all is felt is mental hardship and draining,
When you’re ready to sail through it a beautiful life is remaining.
