Progress Poem by Ryan Lee Morris

If life was supposed to be easy,
And things happened by request.
Would you take everything fore granted?
And never try your best?

Everyone needs some failures,
And success, is there to earn.
If everything is handed to us,
How are we supposed to learn?

Mistakes they turn to wisdom,
And the wisdom we pass on.
To our children and their children,
After we are gone.

They will learn from our mistakes,
And then they'll make their own.
They'll learn through all that they've done wrong,
And see how much they've grown.

This is what's called progress,
It helps us to advance.
It's better to fail than not to try,
So always take the chance.
