When we were just babes
we crawled before we walked,
We had to make those gurgling sounds
before we learned to talk.
Wobbling and staggering as a baby does
eventually we too would fall,
after the bruises and bumps on the head
now we stand up tall ;).
Mom always said "try, try, again"
eventually you will succeed,
Mom was wise beyond her years
and bid me to take heed.
Never give up on endeavors you try
Or else you are bound to fail,
Like a sailboat on the water
you must first raise the anchor, to sail.

This page was created in honor of one of my WOSIB sisters CeriAnn who at the time was in need of a little encouragement.
We should always remember to get up, brush ourselves off and try, try again.
Never Give Up
Practice Makes Perfect.
