Too many tasks
Where to begin?
Overwhelming
Life in tailspin
Slowing down, breathe
Dividing tasks
One at a time
Patience unmasks
Never alone
Dad’s words come back
Remembering
Wisdom unpacks
Taking one step
Then another
Bringing success
Like none other

Around life’s corner
Failure’s waiting train
Our very fiber
Split open with pain
Chasing newest dreams
Success sometimes waits
Failure comes knocking
What will be life’s fate?
Unavoidable
Failure hitting hard
Inevitable
Drawing life’s harsh card
Fear of failure breathes
Spreading, holds us back
Life fogging over
Success now off track
Vulnerable vibes
Feeling passed over
Alone in darkness
Where’s life’s sweet clover?
Lessons from failure
Past trials teach us
Embrace them and learn
Ride fortitude’s bus
With renewed purpose
Learn while improving
Plus motivation
Success now moving

From the words of American writer, Meg Dowell: “Failure will teach you to be vulnerable. Failure will show you what it means to chase a dream. More importantly, your past failures will change the way you value your successes.”
