Every Setback Opens Up The Future
A new rhyme added to “Keats Walks Downstairs — New Poems”
Ω
Every setback opens up the future
Every failure opens up the mind
Every loss creates a winning moment
I’m not thinking positive
I’m speaking truth
Yesterday I had a big block
thrown at me
I thought the end was near
I couldn’t budge
Today I’m in a new zone
knowing one thing
If today was yesterday
I’d still be lost
Anything that drives you
to invention
Anything that stretches you
Anything that opens up a new way
Anything at all
That’s what you do
And when folk ask you
what’s your secret
Be honest and tell them
that you don’t know
Cause every day
the whole thing just might crumble
And you’ll be on your feet
because you know
Every setback opens up the future
Every failure opens up the mind
Every loss creates a winning moment
I’m not thinking positive
I’m speaking truth
