Perseverance
September 6, 2014
Amazing things don't happen with one big push.
Books aren't written in day,
skyscrapers aren't built in a week.
Everything fabulous takes perseverance,
hard work, determination.
We can't be best friends in one afternoon,
love can't bloom at first sight.
Everything valuable takes time,
thought, purpose.
Babies aren't independent in a month,
forests don't grow in a year.
Everything wonderful takes patience,
care, and perseverance.

I really liked this, it was very descriptive, and full of truth. :) Everything takes time, and everything beautiful needs a perserverer CX Great job getting yourt point across, it made t5he whole poem quite well-written and flaw-free. Keep up the good work! :)
