The past is gone forever your challenge lay ahead <br />And that you are a quitter let that never be said <br />The odds may be against you the going you may find tough <br />But show them what you are made of that you are good enough. <br /> <br />In the recent past you have been feted as a hero of the Town <br />But there are people out there who will kick you when you're down <br />Most people admire winners or so 'twould seem that way <br />The past is gone forever your comeback starts today. <br /> <br />From a humble beginning you became a huge success <br />But nowadays you are living at a less well known address <br />Lady luck she smiled upon you yet with you she did not stay <br />When the going gets tough the tough gets going a wise one once did say. <br /> <br />Show them what you are made of do not throw the towel in <br />You have had your spell of losing you are overdue a win <br />The odds may be stacked against you your back is to the wall <br />But you have got it in you to rise after a fall.<br /><br />Francis Duggan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/show-them-what-you-are-made-of/
