Dote On Diligence Poem by John Sensele

Diligence digs its way through thorns
Singing brambles, calming down mumbles
Listening not to blaring horns
Clearing vestiges of grumbles and fumbles.

In the long run diligence pays
Handsome dividends from diligence ensue
Give up not, each effort success says
Yields good fruit, a cue and a clue, your future to glue.

Obstacles sometimes stream along
Fun detractors derive
Diligence in the end grows strong
Fruits of diligence to your doorstep arrive.

Cultivate the culture of diligence
Making each task successful
Investing in duty your best intelligence
Life's rewards grow more beautiful.
