Persistence Speaks—a poem by Bette A. Stevens
Nature has so many lessons to teach us and here’s one among the many I’ve learned from the butterflies.
Persistence Speaks
by Bette A. Stevens
Persistence speaks—Do not give up
And why should we comply
The answer’s very humbly found
In wings of butterflies
A tiny egg begins its tasks
Of monumental span
To metamorphose sundry times
Before it understands
The goal which seems impossible
Before the toil begins
Nets dividends beyond compare
When butterflies earn wings
