Stepping Stone

M-ake a stepping stone, 
A-iming towards success; 
R-ising above the crowd
I-s not without a mess.
E-arly twenty-fifth of August, just learn from your error; 
L-et your life correct the wrong, use the failure to your favor. 

S-tepping stone to triumph
I-s truly hard and rough; 
L-earn to reach your goal, 
A-s the going gets tough.
G-et up when you fall down, 
A-llow not your heart to moan; 
N-ever ignore your mistake being a stepping stone.
