TRY IF I WILL

[08-Our-greatest-weakness-lies-in-giving-up.-The-most-certain-way-to-succeed-is-always-to-try-just-on]
THREE STEPS TO FAILURE,
TRY NOT TO DO


FAILURE,
IS NOT THE END.

IT'S ONE STEP,
FROM BEGINNING.

IT IS BETTER TO TRY

THAN BE,
AFRAID TO FAIL

FOR FAILURE
IS NOT THE WRONG

IT IS THE? TRY
NOT TO GO ON.

If You Think My Preaching's Bad, Try My Jokes
By David Pytches

TRY IF I WILL

One step that came forward
Knowing all in its quest.

One step to the Mountain
Try and do your best.

Failure is no steps taken.

Success is many more.

So why not Try and give it all

I tripped over Failure
it brought me Success.

I climbed the Mountain
it brought me many quests.

Failure is the orphan
For no one wants to hold it long.

I must know Him
If Success is going to come along.

A THOUGHT!

I have two friends in life,
Success and Failure.

I hope to see
Success even more.

Two friends
I cannot part away.

They are beside me
all the way.

One's behind,
the others ahead.

Rarely
will they rest at all.

They see me through
the best and worse.

Even Failure will have a Try.

Success will come
when I help Failure Try..

Dedicated to Hillary Rodham Clinton

A Poeatreeman

Failure does not fail
unless you do not Try.

Success
will help you carry Failure.

When He is lagging behind.

Never
lose sight of both your friends.

For surely you will have
lost your way.

Each is only a step away.

Will's a funny guy.

He has Failure and Success as friends.

Can He hold on till the end

Not if He does not Try

Will! is only what you make him.

A POET'S NOTE

If you step up there are no Failures.

Win or lose,
Try is one great step.

Now I have to climb over.

Day and night
will help me view it.

Will!

will help my friends get through it.

DEFEAT

[7S-Believe-Self]


LIFE IS NOT YOUR ADVERSARY FAILURE IS


Opponents

If Success and Failure
Are Opponents

Then Defeat
is the Referee

When Neither
one is Successful

Then Defeat
takes this Round.

I could not Fail,
I could not Lose

Oh! the cries
I've Heard
When Ego Boasted.

I could have Won,
Arrogance Hailed.

I am Fighting air.

Win, Lose, or Draw,
It is not
the smartest Bet.

When Defeat
Is Staring
you in the face.

Mirroring
your every move.

He will surely
take you down.

Round one is not over.

Punches are thrown.
From all Directions.

Bob and weave,
Will let you stay in.

Keep on Fighting,
To the end.

Will!

Will last as long as you.

Life is not
the one to fight.

All the wrongs
that are not right.

Will!

Will help you
in your plight.

Wrong is your
Greatest Opponent.

You must fight.

Love will soften
when it can

Those bruises
will show
Now and then.

God can mend
What man has done.

Round two

Life goes on.
It is hard to fight.
All lifelong.
What can I say?
Try to Win
There are still rounds
to be Won.

Now count.
To the ends,
You will know
your wear.

You've faced it all,
And shown the best.

What more is left
Then to see
it all through?

You stood your ground
In spite of failures.

Now
you can call yourself

A Champ.

God is in your corner
He will keep you
in the round.

Remember!

You always
have a prayer.

Say it now.
For it may be
your last round....

A POET'S NOTE

Success and I
Are very old friends
It is failure
I do not want to see again...

Defeat,
Keeps me in the rounds
I have to fight both.
To win this round.
Success and Failure
Are my lifelong mates
I have to deal with them
Round by Round
It is never over
As long as I'm around....

Revisit once again
You will better understand.
Defeat is not your friend.
It is the Opponent
That will fight you
To the end..

THE STRENGTH OF GOD

With the strength of God
Let me move the unbelievers
With thy hand

Let them know the faith you hold
Take them to the place you love
Show them all the truth that is.

Let them see their heart
Teach them to love
Show them all things can change

Let them feel all the pain
Wake their eyes so they will see
The suffering is not the pain
The days without you.

A Poeatreeman

My faith is my bridge to you
My loss not to believe
My Heaven to be with you
My Hell for I choose not you.

Only with sharp words,

Only with truth
can I open up a lie

Only with sorrow ,
Can I cut through the pain

Only with love,
Can care heal the wounds

Only with faith,
Can I know all my doubts

Can my feelings cut through

Only with hate,
Can my heart be cut out

Only with God,
Can He heal all that is torn.

WHO GIVES A HOOT?

A wise old bird
who gave no hoot

Owl
would you do it?

I would
give a hoot,

To show
I cared

I would
go out on a limb,

To let
you know
I am there

I
may
get ruffled,

if
I don't try

I will
never know
what
it is to fly

Unless
I take
the steps
to do it

Life
is there
not just
to view it

It is up
to me
to share
in its
wonders

It is up
to me
to care
for it all

Give a hoot,
if
I am ever
to feel it

Give
heart and love,

life
will come
through it

Don't
flutter
around ,

Unless
you're on
a training mission.

Hoot
and holler
if you care

It starts
your engine
to get you there

I am
not a bird
nor a plane

Why
am I taking
off this way?

I
am on a runway,

It's my heart
that is flying about

I better
hold on
until the end

I
must have care,

If
I am ever
to come
through it.

A THOUGHT!

I have heart,
that can
endear the worst

I have love,
that will
take the fall

I have care,
for pain
is not alone

I have God,
to help me
through it all...;

Dedicated To Jennifner

A Poeatreeman

Love
is nesting
in my heart

Born
from feelings,
when tears
fell out

I lost not love,
but gained caring

For
my love grew out

Now
I am there,
to share with all.

holding
it once more

For
caring brought it out

Now
love will be once more

Tears
won't be without..
