The Triumph of Resilience

A poem about the power of trying again

In shadows cast by trials untamed,

Where hope's ember wavers and seems to wane,

A whisper echoes, gently yet profoundly,

"Try again, for strength in you is found."

 

With a weary heart and battle-scarred soul,

Doubt and fear their tolls, relentless tolls,

But courage stirs, resilient and unbowed,

"Try again, for victory is endowed."

 

Though dreams may falter, dimmed by despair,

And pathways fraught with hurdles, seeming unfair,

The spirit soars, unyielding in its flight,

"Try again, for faith shall guide you right."

 

Embrace the failures, let them not define,

For each setback births a lesson, refined,

With steadfast stride, through valleys and terrain,

"Try again, for triumph shall be your gain."

 

So heed this call, with an unwavering aim,

In every stumble, find the strength to reclaim,

For in the face of challenge, you shall attain,

The sweetest victory is when you try again.
