Attempted Time and Thought

Time is very valuable
It's always of the essence
Gives them chances
But it takes patience

Learning things, like something new
Is required in most cases
The things they have they say or do
Leaves their mind with no empty spaces

Although they try with all their might
To make it through to victory
The nature of the inner self may strike
And cause them to go down, not in history

Keeping head up, spirits high
Not letting failure take them down
Reach for success, give it another try
Carrying a smile, not a frown

Victory seen, from afar
Let no one take it,  or say otherwise
Soon they will be a shining star
And take those who doubted them by surprise.
