Learning From Failure

When you fail, you must move on,
Life is continuous, you’re never done,
It’s not learning to fail, but learning from failing,
You can’t spend your life weeping and wailing,
Failure at times is the best way to learn,
Life’s unpredictable through every twist and turn,
Don’t look to fail, but if you do,
The chances are you’ve learned something new,
When life is good, don’t think you are free,
From the grip of the bad inside of thee,
Just remember this,
If you fail there is a way out,
Learn from the past, don’t sit there and pout.

Failure is but a step to success, sadly many stop walking. There is wisdom in your words.
