This was inspired by a talk I heard at a luncheon. In my opinion, the speaker didn't just persevere. She experienced a loss of faith in her abilities and overcame that to refocus on, and eventually, attain her goals.
Resilience
Bounce
back from
disappointment
Stretch
to reach
a new goal
Adapt
to any
situation
Adjustments
become
second nature
Remember
who you
want to be
and
Recapture
the conviction

Resilience
I am a poet and photographer who likes sports, jazz and art inspired by other art. I served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the early 1970's and was assigned to the Computer Sciences School in Quantico, VA. I have published a chapbook of grief poems, I Keep You with Me. My work also has appeared in publications such as Thorny Locust Magazine, core. zine,The Enigmatist, Veterans' Voices and Kansas Time + Place An Anthology of Heartland Poetry. My visual art pieces combine poetry and photographs, and have been most recently displayed at InterUrban ArtHouse, Johnson County Arts & Heritage Center, Buttonwood Art Space, and The Smalter Gallery.

Love that last line Michelle "Recapture the conviction". There such a "charge" in those words.
