Analysis of Keep On Trying
Ah, friend, will you lose faith!
Will you lose your brilliant colours!
Will you lose your dexterity!
No, man
fade not.
Were you not the fearless soldier
We once admired?
Were you not the ambitious fellow
We once applauded?
Have you degenerated so easily?
Have you abandoned your zeal to prosper?
Have you succumbed to defeat?
Have you succumbed to distractions
and lost your focus?
No, my friend
Be not dismayed.
Be not discouraged.
Keep on trying
Keep on plodding;
Success is knocking
At your threshold...
only
keep on trying.
