Diligence

11/30/10

This is persevering attitude

for all life's territories,

it means bringing presence

of 'can, will do'

to essential human needs,

plus inspiring extraneous desires

catalyzing many mysterious ingredients

outside confines of homogenization,

unique to each person

we embody our 'brand',

skills, talents known by,

proud of at death,

because of indomitable effort

we deemed personally important

became pact with 'soul'

where other activities paled,

following thread into Unknown

one foot after another

with diligence beyond measure.
