Nice Try

Nice try, nice effort

But I didn't win

Maybe next time

Or the time again

Nice try, nice effort

But short of the goal

Losing takes its toll

Squeeze out your all

Nice try, nice effort

A heartbreaking loss

Step up, be the boss

Redemption, Faith, Trust

Nice try, nice effort

You are deserving

Shut out the unnerving

The future is rewarding

Nice try, nice effort

Eye on the target

Get your mind set

Forget regrets

Nice try, nice effort

The time is at hand

Confidence to take a stand

You will, you must, you can!

Author Notes: The difference between winning and losing is between the ears.
