Keep Doing It

At some point, you doubt
Questions creep into your mind
To brood actions that may not seem necessary
Keep doing it
Profits are often suspended
So that you’d know the joy gained
Eventually when achievement calls
Keep doing it
I have seen men shed rivers of tears
And this for wastes in opportunities
When they look back, it’s all regrets
Keep doing it
Had they tarried awhile
Had they taking a further step, probably a little more
The sun like glistening stars would have crowned their heads
Keep doing it
Emulate my life
For I’ve never been rich by world standard
But I’ve never been poor by poor standard
For all the wealth out there, never my pocket dry
Because I kept doing it.

The poem is inspirational and it has a narrative seamlessly woven with philosophical touch. It is a poem that has a lot to learn from. It is accessible and vivid. It conveys feelings, reflections, and mood. You achieved these poetic ingredients through careful choice of words.
A true treat.

When all poems become riddle and inaccessible, those of us, without sufficient intellectual equipment to decode such poems will mourn for the day we were born. If you have a tremendous reservoir of sympathy for people like us, while writing a poem, you must make a few lines lucid, and at the same time spice other lines with poetic trigonometry for higher mind like yourself.
