On A Mission With A Kept Belief Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

What inspires more than flattery,
Or the giving of it...
Is to witness someone who faces challenges.
And the doing of this not to quit,
With a listening to doubts of those who have them.

And that which inspires with unspoken benefit,
Is someone known to show they can conquer...
Over obstacles limiting others who may permit,
Opposition with definitions...
To ensure an acceptance of it.

What inspires more than flattery,
Or the giving of it that comes to end and quick,
Is someone having faith so strong they do not quit.
Since giving up to prevent their eventual victory,
Is not given attention to allow signs of its appearance.

Those on a mission with a kept belief they can succeed...
Do.
And with a refusing to introduce excuses.
To be witnessed by anyone knowing it takes intiative,
That provides enough incentive to ignite inspiration.

'Never give up.
Eliminate time as a factor.
Never give up.
Desire your dreams with a wanting to touch.
Never give up.'

~I'm on a mission with a kept belief,
To keep it.
And never give up.~
'That's good.'
~On a mission with a kept belief,
To keep it.
And never give up.~
'That's good.'

~I'm on a mission with a kept belief.~

'That's good.'
~I'm on a mission with a kept belief.~
'That's good.'
~On a mission with a kept belief.~

~I'm on a mission with a kept belief,
To keep it.
And never give up.~
'That's good.'

~I'm on a mission with a kept belief.~
'That's good.'
~I'm on a mission with a kept belief.~
'That's good.'
~I'm on a mission with a kept belief.~
'That's good.'
~On a mission with a kept belief.~
