There Ain’t A-Horse That’s Never Been Rode!
- *Goal: To serve as a guide to develop attitudes and habits of patience, persistence, perseverance!
There ain’t-a-horse that’s never been rode,
Of that there is no doubt and likewise,
There ain’t-a-man that’s never been throw’ed!
Everything in nature has its peculiar weaknesses,
And that is the conundrum we all must accept!
There ain’t-a-horse that’s never been rode…
As we go through life,
Failure and mistakes remind us that,
There ain’t-a-man that’s never been throw’ed!
It is a useless waste of time to deny,
Or sit around after a defeat crying; just realize,
There ain’t-a-horse that’s never been rode!
As you go through life,
You’ll gain experience that can help you accept,
There ain’t-a-man that’s never been throw’ed!
Day by day commit to do your best,
But you must realize the truth you can’t deny,
There ain’t-a-horse that’s never been rode,
There ain’t-a-man that’s never been throw’ed!
