This Stick-To-It-Ive-Ness Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

An ability known that is honed and grown,
Through a discipline devoted one comes to love.
And with maturity shown to produce and not discuss...
Often confuses those refusing,
This stick-to-it-ive-ness approach to life...
With wishes for quick satisfactions to get.
But there are benefits that do come,
To those who sacrifice with it done to not undo.
As a rewarding of relief one receives that speaks for itself.
