Try

“Try”

 

He won’t know until he tries.

That’s what his parents say.

That’s what his teachers say.

That’s what he tries to say to his self.

 

He tried. 

He tried something new.

He tried something different.

He tried something he did before but didn’t do it well.

That’s when it becomes a mistake.

 

It’s not a mistake until he tries.

It’s not a mistake until he does something wrong.

It’s not a mistake unless he acknowledges it’sits a mistake.

When he acknowledges it’sits a mistake then it becomes a lesson.

 

A lesson to try a little harder.

A lesson to try again.

A lesson to try something new. 

A lesson to try something different.

 

Life is full of mistakes. 

Life is full of lessons.

Life is full of opportunities to try and try again.

 

He will try again.

Because that’s what his parents say

Because that’s what his teachers say

Because that’s what he tells himself.

Try and try again.
