Passing Muster

Every day there arrives
another challenging test
Our world wants to know
how we keep up with the rest

 

Escape from the questions
is never our choice
The result of such an effort
we will never rejoice

 

Standing up to the problems
is the only recourse
When we cannot pass muster
we are left with remorse

 

You knew from the title
there was a challenge for you
Included with these words
is also what I have to do

 

Running away from our problems
means we cannot go back
We will have labeled ourselves
as worthless in fact

 

Our failures need not happen
when we stand up to the task
If we just give it our best
it will be more than what's asked

 

The sooner we confront
the problems we face
The less they will haunt us
in almost every case

 

What has been set out here
is a formula for success
So join bravely with me
as we don't do any less
