Words to live by

 Where there's a will, there is a way
That's what my wife will always say.
No one gives a thing for free,
My dad in sternness would decree.
Never show, with your hands bare,
My mom would preach to us with care.
All these words I try to heed,
And they steer me to good deeds.
Yet, I am partial to this one,
About persevering every day,
It says that I will find a way
Or, that finding none; I'll go make one.
