Endeavor

Somewhere, fiercely, some man tries–
One more airplane in the skies.

An architect, ignoring pomp,
Sweats:–New homes in what was swamp.

A Poet tries to make words come–
One more tune for man to hum.

A doctor battles jungle pest–
A multitude of patients rest.

Whatever may seem wasted
Upon the long, hard grade,
Success is never tasted.
But there is effort made.
