Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

You Can Do This

This time, you failed
Your best wasn’t enough
You couldn’t cut it
Your job was too tough

What do you do now?
Do you give up? Quit?
Throw up your arms
declare that you’ve had it?

Or do you stand tall
give it all you’ve got
your heart, your body, your mind
And never give up

Everyone fails sometimes
No matter how good you are
but if you quit after every setback
you’ll never get very far

When you fall on your face
get back up again and again
keep at it, and one day
you will succeed, my friend

How do I know? Because I know
That you can do this
