Keep Your Attitude Positive
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Put your shoulder to the wheel and work with might
Rest not 'til you reach the highest heights
Rely on yourself and block out doubt's blight
Keep your attitude positive, stay in the fight
Though defeat may seem close, don't fret or fear it
Firm resolve can extinguish any chance of defeat
Time and effort will lead to victory won
As long as you forego defeat due to spirit gone.

He's Always There
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Though it be slow and pain is deep,
Though the trial never seems to cease,
That's how the Lord reveals His plan,
So He can carry us through with ease.
Feelings of defeat may cloud our days,
And cast a shadow on our night,
But God shall lead us down a path,
Where all is right and free of strife.
He makes no mistakes nor plans deranged,
His love remains strong throughout the way.
So keep faith in Him throughout despair,
When you feel defeated remember He's there.

Rejecting Defeat
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
In the face of challenges, you dare to persist,
Rejecting defeat that tries to insist.
For in every stumble and failure endured,
Lies a chance for growth, strong and assured.
Start again means you reject defeat
With determination success you will meet.

Don't Be Discouraged
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
When defeat comes along and it's hard to take,
Don't be discouraged no matter your fate -
Look for other ways and the stories they tell
From the winners of life that survive and excel.
Learn what you can and then move on,
Use what you find to form your own bond;
Grow wiser with every battle lost,
And success you will finally cross.

Honesty Worth More
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
It is better to take the fall
Than risk one’s soul in lies
For those who win by deceit
Soon realize there’s no prize.
Honesty and integrity
Are worth far more than gold,
Be careful not to turn your back
On standing strong and bold.
The easy road may seem inviting
But it will leave you undone;
In the end, values vanquished, betrayed -
It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies.

An Opportunity To Reload
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Some may feel sadness in their defeat
But what's been learned can never be beat
It's not the end, no need to fret
Failure is only a chance to reset.
Past mistakes can't be undone
But the knowledge they give can lead to victories won
When we fall down there is much more up ahead
Regroup and reload, and success will eventually spread.
Take those parts that showed promise of success,
For those are the signs of true progress.
Don't despair, even though you've been slowed,
For defeat is only an opportunity to reload.

Not The End
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Although a defeat may feel like the end,
When all hope and possibilities seem to rend;
Just remember that you are resilient within,
What you’ve learned has made you more wise and keen.
You may be down at this point in time,
But soon will come a new day so sublime;
When we move beyond the defeat
We will find that life is sweet!

Defeat Is A Lesson
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Defeat is nothing but a lesson,
Prepping us up for success;
Try again and don't digress,
Forge courage from the trenches.
Soon our efforts will shine bright,
Focus on the fight and not the blight,
Persistence brings amazing sights,
Molding us through educational flight.

Take This Honey
Poet: Unknown
Then take this honey for the bitterest cup:
There is no failure, save in giving up;
No real fall so long as one still tries.
For seeming setbacks make the strong men wise.
There's no defeat, in truth, save from within;
Unless you're beaten there, you're bound to win.
