Disappointment is not utter failure,
The “striving” is a measure of success;
Each wise attempt but makes us stronger grow,
Till, oft-repeated, stumbling-blocks seem less,
And finally prove stepping-stones to gain
The end in view, and our fond hopes attain!
As drops of water wear the solid rock,
Or sun’s bright ray, in focus, kindle flame,
So concentrated effort, wisely spent.
Will yet be crowned with success and with fame!
If that thy aim be good, then persevere,
Though success fail thee, this thy heart may cheer:
No man e’er strove with noble end in view.
But from the strife came forth more brave and true!
Perseverance
