I found this poem in a notebook I kept while I lived in South Africa. I googled it but could not find it online. Here it is as I transcribed it nearly 10 years ago.
Determination
While other may tire or quit in despair,
or feel as if failure is too hard to bear -
I will keep going. Put failures aside,
If I can't keep up, I'll lengthen my stride.
I've made up my mind, Set my mind on a quest,
though many have tried, few gave it their best.
Trying my hardest is what makes me great.
Desire and determination, not fortune and fate.
- Judy Beck
I'm not sure if the grammar is correct, but I really enjoyed the spirit of the poem.
I am the master of my fate, and I am determined to make it great.

When tough times hit, like at present, it is good to have penned words such as these, that help strenghten.
Thanks Tyler.
