Keep Your Focus
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019 You developed your goals and now have a plan You know deep in your heart that you can You may feel at times that you have failed But by persevering you will fill your sail. Continue to take it step by step The goals you set are your prep When progress is slow and you are feeling down Keep moving forward and hold your ground. When obstacles are around every turn You must stay focused on what you yearn You see success you will find When you persevere and focus clear in your mind. The mountain may seem overwhelming Your dreams out of sight But determination brings on a great might Persevere and keep moving forward Never doubt that the day will come When all your efforts will be achieved and then some. ![]() Keep Your Grit Poet: Mabel E. Bailey Hang on! Cling on! No matter what they say; Push on! Sting on! Things will come your way. Sitting down and whining never helps a bit. Best way to get there is by keeping up your grit. Don't give up hoping when the ship goes down. Grab a spar or something - just refuse to drown. Don't think you're dying just because you're hit. Smile in face of danger and hang to your grit. Folks die to easy - they sort of fade away; Make a little error, and give up in dismay. Kind of man that's needed is the man with ready wit. To laugh at pain and trouble and keep his grit. Let's Persevere Poet: F. M. O'Rouke Perseverance is trying and trying, And trying again each day; E'en through failures and disappointment Come thick and fast our way. But if we press on with a purpose That is always steadfast and true, With the "star of hope" to guide us And the goal kept ever in view, We will surely at last attain to the height That belongs to those who try to do right; So let us, then With a song in our hearts, And on our lips a cheer, Adopt for life's slogan - "Let's Persevere." ![]() Persevere Always Poet: Charles Francis Glass Let us persevere, At work or play, And be sincere On every day. If we would win, There is a way, Keep up the din, And it will pay. We must be spry And fight to win; If we come nigh Make gold or tin. Let us use grit, Work on and pray; We cannot sit And win the day. Do what we say Earn all the praise, Get what we may And persevere always. Keep Peggin' Along Poet: James Conway Jackson The race is not to the swift they say, Nor the victory always to the strong; But the one who perseveres will win If he'll jes keep peggin' along. Your way may be steep and your way may be rough, And you just a wee mite midst the throng; But stick to the right and you'll sure win the fight If you'll jest keep peggin' along. Don't mind the hard knocks and the kicks and the cuffs, Push on; by and by you'll grow strong; Don't slacken your paces, you'll sure win the race If you'll jes keep peggin' along. ![]() Keep A Pluggin' Away Poet: E. M. Glotzback I've a humble little motto That is homely, though it's true - Keep a pluggin' away It's a thing when I've an object That I always try to do- Keep a pluggin' away. When you've rising storms to quell, When opposing waters swell. It will never fail to tell - Keep a pluggin' away. If the hills are high before And the paths are hard to climb, Keep a pluggin' away. And remember that successes Come to him who bides his time - Keep a pluggin away. From the greatest to the least, None are from the rule released. Be thou toiler, poet, priest, Keep pluggin' away. Dive beneath the surface There is treasure farther down- Keep a pluggin' away. When the clouds have rolled away, There will come a brighter day All your labor to repay - Keep a pluggin' away. There'll be lots of sneers to swallow, There'll be lots of pain to bear - Keep a pluggin' away. If you've got your eye on heaven, Some bright day you'll awake up there - Keep a pluggin' away. Perseverance still is king; Time its sure reward will bring; Work and wait unwearing - Keep a pluggin' away. Obstacles Gone Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2019 Your struggles are a part of life Never expect success without some strife Your willpower and hard work will pay off And the results will be nothing to scoff. If everything was easy, it would all be done The challenges and obstacles can be part of the fun. Keep your eyes looking foward, solutions will be found And you will find a life that is sound. When we give up and we quit We lose all of our determination and our wit We must always persevere And never give into fear. For they say success is always found Little by little, we gain ground Over and over we keep moving on Until we see our obstacles gone. |
