My Plan of Attack (sonnet)

It is not defeat if I should fall down,
And it is not a loss if I feel pain.
Defeat begins when I stay on the ground --
I win when I get up and try again.
I will make mistakes along this journey.
I will take a step backwards now and then,
But it's all good, so long as I'm learning
There are roads I shouldn't travel again.
There will be detours that get in my way.
There will  be waters too deep to wade through,
But as long as I take it day by day,
There's nothing in this world that I can't do.
I will learn to look forward and not back.
Tackling today is my plan of attack.
