I'm so late again....

Anyway... 6-stars for you my friend! I love the message plus the STEEL YOUR WILL part. I have such a goal in life to always remain firm in what I believe. Once I decide to reach my goal I hold onto it so firmly until I've proven I'm right. c", Mae

When I moved cross country and everyone told me it was going to end disastrous, both times, I did what I felt was best and it paid off. You just have to do what is best for you and only you know. Sometimes it takes a leap of faith

You are absolutely right, ExperiencingLiphe, my friend. Sometimes, you just gotta do what you gotta do.

Thanks for the outstanding review.

This Acrostic Poetry Contest entry fulfills the elements of the contest with a powerful presentation that has words that stand alone without a picture. Well done. All the best in the contest! :0 GracieAnn

This is a truly great acrostic. Every line superbly supports the subject. Well Done!

P.S. If you ever decide to turn this into a poster send me the link. I'd buy one to look at every morning while I trudge through my exercise/torture.

Stick to the course even if it is a dimly lit road less traveled. Perseverance can be a lonely song, but sticking to your truth, integrity, is much more important than falling in step with the herd. Good acrostic but the picture seems a bit menacing.

Hah, well, I simply can't seem to get away from menacing altogether, ravenblack, although I do sincerely try from time to time. The photo is simply used to illustrate great strength, for I believe that's what it takes to achieve your goals, and never stop reaching for the stars.

I appreciate the kind comments and review, my friend.

I get the strength, just not the guys head. The shape of it looks like it came from H.R. Geiger's drawing board.

Hi Dean,

This is a great acrostic poem, packed with important information. Most people, especially when younger, are rather like a member of a herd. It's comfortable and safe to just follow others. The ones who follow their own passion become the leaders.

Hugs,
Lou

Your words of advise is put together very well.

The font and color makes it stand out as well.

Each line did as it was suppose to do, give meaning to the word PERSEVERANCE.

One thing is true, if you don't you will never know if you
could have made it, or how far could you have gone once you
take the task on.

So, persevere.

I'm printing this out and placing it on my wall in my bedroom. These are golden words pumped with truth, risk and hope. The photo matches the strength and muscle building attributes for perseverance.
