Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

Finding Your Courage

Finding the route to success
so many think they know
but even when they feel there
the sign says you cannot go

They are many failures in life
but fatality isn't the final straw
one can rise to get up again
find your equalizer to gain a draw

Within your heart look within
see that courage so deep
catch your grip hold on tight
watch courage swell so to keep

At the end of your day
be bold keep on going on
fill yourself with courage full
standing tall before the dawn

(Quote Prompt:
"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts".
WINSTON S. CHURCHILL)
