Persistence lives inside me.
She holds my hand and drives me forward.
She’s my best friend.
She lets me do things I find difficult.
She breathes the same air as me,
She keeps me going when I am lost.
She lets me do things I find impossible.
She lets me be confident.
Persistence helps me when I am down.
She’s like a rose in my hand.
Persistence is my Mum, my Dad, my friends.
Persistence is me.
