If only that I tried

If I don’t accomplish at least I know I tried

if all falters and left solitary am I

at least I learned to smile…..

 

If I don’t attain the goals I set

if  all before me collapses

at least I learned to accept…..

 

If I don’t find that exceptional one

if he does not exist but only in my perspective

at least I learned to seek…..

 

If I don’t comprehend a question, or have the answer

if all baffles me

at least I learned to listen…..

 

And if I don’t discover all these things

if all swirls by me

at least I learned to try…..
