10 Poems On Determination

1. Determination We Need
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Without determination,
   No goal is complete
   Without focus, you will
   Find defeat.
   
   Though it's hard and
   Can be overwhelming
   You must keep going and
   Control your feeling.
   
   Determination keeps us on track,
   Won't give up even under attack.
   Finding ways around
   What appears to be a dead end
   
   No one can take away
   This drive to succeed
   For determination is always
   What we need.

2. Determination
   Poet: David V. Bush
   
   I'll plan my work and follow it,
   For I'm on victory bent;
   For all the strength and will I need,
   The gods to me have lent.
   
   I know there's something I can do
   In this great world I'm in!
   The gods give me a vast desire
   To labor and to win.
   
   I see around me many men
   Who work in skillful way;
   And I affirm God means that I
   Shall do as well as they.
   
   Of course there's something I can do.
   And do exceeding well;
   I'll find that work and follow it,
   For naught my soul can quell.

5. Determination Analogy
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Through the rock and stone
   Sitting all alone
   A beautiful flower did grow
   Brilliant and very yellow.
   
   No one cleared the stone away
   The ground was a mess and in array
   But determined to push on through
   That little flower it grew.
   
   It faced obstacles in the stone
   No one helped, it was all alone
   But the flower found a way around
   It was determined to come above the ground.
   
   Why can't we be like that flower
   And be determined using our mind power
   We give up too easily when faced with roadblocks
   We say life is hard and full of knocks.
   
   But if determination was our attitude
   We would have so much more fortitude
   We would find a way
   And roadblocks would not sway!

8. What Makes Success
   by Unknown
   
   What makes one man succeed where another fails?
   Naturally ability has something to do with it.
   
   Environment may be a help.
   But every man who has made his mark
   will tell you that the chief factors are energy,
   confidence, indefatigable toil, readiness to learn,
   a determination which never relaxes its grip.
   
   And if so, why should you not succeed as well as some one else?
   What is there out of these qualities that you may not cultivate?
   
   Most of us have ability enough,
   if we will add to it the push and hard work and
   determination without which talent is helpless.

Poems About Perseverance



10. Determination
    Poet: John Kendrick Bangs
    
    What I will must surely be;
    What I wish for I shall see;
    What I'd have must come to me —
    If I will and wish aright,
    And keep at it day and night
    Till at last it heaves in sight,
    And, according to my habit,
    I"ve the nerve to go and grab it!
