Try, Try Again

Hi All,

I wanted to say last how last night’s UCP’s 60^th anniversary celebration inspired me so much.  As I heard speeches of encouragement and gratitude, I felt so enlightented!  In the past few weeks, a friend gave me this poem by T. H. Palmer named Try, Try Again, and I thought this occasion perfectly.  I hope you enjoy and are inspired by it the same way I was!

‘Tis a lesson you should heed,
If at first you don't succeed,
Try, try again;

Then your courage should appear,
For if you will persevere,
You will conquer, never fear
Try, try again;

Once or twice, though you should fail,
If you would at last prevail,
Try, try again;

If we strive, 'tis no disgrace
Though we do not win the race;
What should you do in the case?
Try, try again

If you find your task is hard,
Time will bring you your reward,
Try, try again

All that other folks can do,
Why, with patience, should not you?
Only keep this rule in view:
Try, try again.
