Try, Try, Try Again - Visitor's Poem
by Tasneem Qaiser Alvi
(Lahore, Pakistan)
I try to abandon all evil deeds, but get into a farce of sins,
All my goodness is compelled to enrich the dirty dust bins.
Whenever I try, there is something that forces me to stop,
I gather courage, yet my efforts fail to yield any good crop.
Though my intentions are good yet success seems far away,
The truth ââTry,Try,Try Again!â saves me from going astray.
I wish to do something great, that will enable me to earn,
A high repute that will light my life and give it a new turn.
I hate to despair even when the signs of victory are zero,
Patience and contentment will help, to make me a hero.
