To fly is your birthright.
If you don't try
for the first time,
you never learn.
True, you may fail
you may fall.
But try you need to.
Albeit,
you may never fall
if you don't try.
If nobody tried boldly
for the first time
man would still be
the same barbaric tribe
nude and dirty
fighting for existence
with other beasts,
In the wild.
So, try you need to!
Poet Menon, your inspirational, and motivational, poem has stired up some great memories. Learning to ride a bicycle. Learning to water ski. Learning to write poetry. Poetry like this is so greatly needed today! Thx for the memories.
I just didn't mention that. In everybody's life, there is a Summer of 42, Richard. Cycling, skiing, poetry… everything. Our first day in school. First day in Office… Yes, Richard. And a Big Thank You.
Rose Marie has special acumen to delve into the core of the subject and come out with marvellous comments. Thank You, Dear Poet.
If you fear failure and fall, and stop without trying, you will not achieve anything.

I would like to translate this poem
Try, again and gain till you succeed.... nicely crafted one...
Thank You Pallab. If the little child does not try to stand upon his/her legs and take the first step, she/he will never learn to walk, let alone run.
