Is failure an impediment?

"IS FAILURE AN IMPEDIMENT"


If it could take drops of water, 
Days and sleepless nights, 
Becoming a wide ocean ,
Of immeasurable length. 

What stops a latter then ?
From continuous attempts, 
To mountaineering, mount success, Till apex .

He claims the mount,
Was too rough for a climb ,
Without an aid,
Or a climbing medium. 

What could hinder a sprinter ?
From a distance sprint ,
Of some metres away ,
Till the finish lane. 

He claimed,there were hurdles ,
Of some metres higher, 
Than his ability of jump ,
Which could at the end results in his fall .

Will the success arrive ?
When you every moment cast blames ,
Over obstacles placed, 
On your success paths .

Remember it wasn't in an eye twinkle, 
Romans bricked ,
The great wall of Rome, 
Before it could lay solidly .

David,

An interesting poem which requires a response. Failure is an essential aspect of life as we learn through our failures and mistakes because they spur us on to achieve more and greater things.

This is a good poem
Thanks
Keith
