patience

Rome was not built in a day,
Have patience my dear boy,
No shortcut can help you I pray,
It's nature's clever ploy.

Failures are part of life,
Like thorns of beautiful roses,
If your luck is on nosedive,
You will stand up to be Moses.

Try and try until you die,
For you lose when you give up,
Those are heavenly tears when you cry,
Once you drink that successful cup.
