    "Perseverance" by Wilson Brissett

    Poem read at: 16:24 & 36:09

    Perseverance

    Perseverance

    she is called—

    though many never

    see her name

    Or face, so glides

    she seamlessly

    through their world—

    she seems the same.

    But I have seen her

    travel oceans,

    weary just

    to eat or greet,

    And this way shows

    a home she's seeking—

    not yet found

    but not retreat.

    Wilson Brissett
