Gain Ground

G-ain ground as the decline turns 
I-nto the state of augmentation; 
L-oss has become plus, 
M-aking headway and expansion. 
I-t's now time to gain ground, 
N-ever shrink nor diminish; 
A-dvance and proliferate, as the failures in life vanish. 

L-er your ideas gain ground, 
O-n the fourteenth of July; 
N-o more wasted action, 
G-ather your strength neath the sky. 
C-omplete your faith and hope 
O-n the love you've found; 
P-roceed to the better stage, make progress or gain ground.

Did you mean "Trooper"? If not, the context might be lost in this style. Unique and comprehensible.
