Poem about trait with paragraph and image

Endurance

Endurance accompanies you to the end where your destiny lays

With his full grown beard and timeless creases of skin

He stays in his state of statue until you discover where your destiny lays.

Endurance has been reflected throughout history in many unique tales and diverse cultures. The structure and significance of the word endurance, has different opinions to the cultures of the world. For instance in ancient Greece, when the Persian first tried to capture Greece, the Greeks sent a herald to Athens with a journey of approximately 42 kilometers. When he finally reached Athens he relayed his message but eventually died of exhaustion, this is the origin of the marathon. This myth or story is not historically confirmed but the idea did make the Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin who made the first marathon in Athens 1896 happen. This slowly became a worldwide event and is now one of the most important Olympic games events. Another occurrence of endurance in history is Gandhi. Gandhi had to endure the torment of the British when they had rule over India. Gandhi had a goal of freeing India of the British supremacy without fighting or hurting anyone. This was triggered from Gandhi seeing a lot of racial discrimination and violence in South Africa and his home country of India. He continued to toil for the release of India from England during the 2nd world war. Finally he freed India in 1947 but unfortunately died the year after, after being assassinated by a Hindu extremist. These examples clearly show that the trait of endurance has lived on through the history of the human race.
