Stepping Stone Poem by Bernard F. Asuncion

M-ake a stepping stone,
A-iming towards success;
R-ising above the crowd
I-s not without a mess.
E-arly twenty-fifth of August, just learn from your error;
L-et your life correct the wrong, use the failure to your favor.

S-tepping stone to triumph
I-s truly hard and rough;
L-earn to reach your goal,
A-s the going gets tough.
G-et up when you fall down,
A-llow not your heart to moan;
N-ever ignore your mistake being a stepping stone.
