Precious Pressure Rewards Poem by John Sensele

Pressure creates from carbon diamonds
That sparkle and yield wealth.
Pressure spare vagabonds
But enhances your worth.

Pressure like fire
Cooks meals and transmutes you into a polished gem
That tycoons admire
And require if they use a sophisticated stratagem.

Pressure extracts the best
That lies with your personality
Sets you apart from the rest
And multiplies your serenity, dignity and temerity.

Pressure builds character
That any worthwhile gladiator
Requires to move their lives to the next higher chapter
With Jesus Christ as the majestic mediator.
