Try Just One More Time

Life is a journey 
It is not a hundred meter dash
It is a marathon of curves and twists
That unfolds in stages

Every phase serves a purpose 
In the university of life
No matter how brilliant you are
You cannot be given double promotion 
You must undergo and pass every course
For every course is for a purpose

As you ride through life stop-overs
Refuse to be stuck at red lights of life
Keep your eyes on the ultimate price
Be focused and resilient 
Persist and  become winners
Quitters can only lose
Keep your hands fasten on the plough
Let go only when you try just  one more time!
