Positive Thinking

A rhyming poem about positive thinking, courage, and faith.

One hopes to build a character of force,
By accepting much failure, as a matter of course.
Upon acceptance of the outcomes of failure,
One’s positive thoughts begin building one’s character.

No single achievement is quite like success,
Nor a collection of efforts, under ample duress;
But to win and to lead, by stalwart example,
Is productive and pure, and can stomp any rival!

The example of winning and leading pertain
To courage and hope, like a steaming freight train…
We must bravely lead that similar cast,
Armed with the glory and mistakes of the past…

Positive thinking takes courage and hope;
One proudly says “Yep!” though the answer is “Nope.”
Failing, yet healthy, one can say “What the heck!” –
Bucking those broncos can sure break one’s neck!
