Get up and try again; just because
You failed before, and slipped and fell,
And grazed your knees,
You don’t forget how to walk.

Get up and try again.
Go back over the same ground if you have to.
Soon you will find one step easier
Than the last. You will balance.

Get up and try again.
Life is hard and the lessons often hurt,
But teachers are everywhere.
Stumble, but follow.
There are no mistakes. Just missteps.

Now.
Get up and try again.
