PERSISTENCE

i swung the hammer
and drove the nail
i did my best
stayed out of jail

these things were done
automatically
like blueprints made
for me to see

i still press on
no believer in fate
i seek rewards
at some later date

i drive the nail
hard and straight
this action is payoff
that helps me negate

my questioning mind
that confuses me
i won't be distracted
for i need to be free

i see my road
it's never too straight
i swing my hammer
it's never too late
