Confidence, Diligence & Persistence Poem by John Sensele

Pursue with confidence and persistence
The path to your destiny
Although from here to there the distance
Seems littered with a mundane mutiny.

Pursue the path to Heaven
As your level best in your earthly pilgrimage
Requires a dose of leaven
To energise and incentivise its virtual voyage.

Pursue possibilities to inject new warmth in the marriage
That in its cadence, confidence, course and coherence hits a pothole
That queers the suspension of its matrimonial carriage
Which with love and care defeat predictions of a crushing crash from a crystal ball.

Pursue the path of diligence
In the teaching career you embraced
To inject the love of balance and science
In students whose progress prospects you've enhanced.
