Failures

The stepping stones to success,

That are often misunderstood,

They drag you down,

For you to apply your strength,

To fly high above,

And for you to accept, rectify and move on.

Life is a bed of thorns,

Of which failures are a part,

So embrace them,

Instead of moving apart.

As the missile man had coined,

FAIL means First Attempt in Learning,

The patience of never complaining,

And trying consistently.

For excellence does not arrive in a day,

It takes the sweat of everyday,

To be excellent.

Grow through your failures,

Learn through your failures,

Shine through your failures,

And swear not to repeat them.
