We all are capable of multiplying efforts

... Of doing more of things we've done, or

By going in other directions of production

Creating constructively with introduction



Of new ideas, and new tasks undertaken

Some of which may well be misshapen

But until we start on new lines of direction

Everything is just an idea, just pure fiction



It takes persistence to produce good work

And pride in the knowledge it is your perk

Which others will soon realize is utter fact

For your new direction is completely intact



Only when it truly is yours, and yours alone

And not at all borrowed from other homes

For when ideas are invented totally from 

Your perspective - to cause others to hum



The beauty lies in the proof so apparent

For others will truly recognize your talent

And praise will then come and will accrue

For it is well-deserved as long as it's all you



- Tristram
