FAILURE IS NOT THE END

FAILURE IS NOT THE END


[We are often destined to falter and fall with the first step. Let that not be the end of the march.]



When a writer starts to write
But can’t complete the work,
Should he get disheartened and
From future writing shirk?

When a young heart falls in love
And is not requited,
Should tender thoughts in his heart
Never be admitted?

When a student works hard yet
He cannot make the grade,
Should he give up his studies
And in oblivion fade?

No, the path of success can
Never be foreshortened.
Success comes to only those
Who are not disheartened.

Though the first step may falter,
Failure is not the end.
Persevere, one day you will
All obstacles transcend.
