Hope

Confidence guides me
to the hope of success,
Diligence may be likened to
an oar in my hands,
No matter how fierce and insane
the wind is on my voyage,
Knowledge gives me
inexhaustible energy.

A very wise lesson almost hidden within this enlightening poem.
Strong determination and good, hard work, never giving up. Hope the instigation.

Enjoyed this greatly, Hugs, Pat

The imagery of the wind/knowledge--the strength in perservering and holding onto the oars--is very powerful. I great snapshot here, with a detail to a deeper and more substantial meaning.

Thank you for sharing this,

Very well done!
Thank you very much for translating my poem. I have tried so hard to do the translation as you explained but was unable so far. When I get home tonight, I'll try again. Much appreciated

You've penned a wonderful poem here for the book.
