Dig Deeper Again

If you don’t first succeed
Dig, dig, dig deeper again
Start over, do your home work
Once or twice though you should fail
If you stray, till no disgrace
Though you did not win the race
What should you do in that case
The task seems to be hard
Patience, patience that which you care
And at last you should prevail
The patience that you did
Of that which you care
Will prevail.

We even learn much When we get it wrong; We come back the next time, And we’re twice as strong. Enjoyed this, Julius. Have a good evening!
