Some say risk nothing, try only for the sure thing, <br /> Others say nothing gambled nothing gained, <br /> Go all out for your dream. <br /> Life can be lived either way, but for me, <br /> I'd rather try and fail, than never try at all, you see. <br /> <br /> Some say "Don't ever fall in love, <br /> Play the game of life wide open, <br /> Burn your candle at both ends." <br /> But I say "No! It's better to have loved and lost, <br /> Than never to have loved at all, my friend." <br /> <br /> When many moons have gone by, <br /> And you are alone with your dreams of yesteryear, <br /> All your memories will bring you cheer. <br /> You'll be satisfied, succeed or fail, win or lose, <br /> Knowing the right path you did choose.<br /><br />William F. O'Brien<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/better-to-try-and-fail-than-never-to-try-at-all/
