''It might have been'' by ella wheeler

We will be what we could be. Do not say, 
"It might have been, had not this, or that, or this." 
No fate can keep us from the chosen way; 
He only might who is. 

We will do what we could do. Do not dream 
Chance leaves a hero, all uncrowned to grieve. 
I hold, all men are greatly what they seem; 
He does, who could achieve. 

We will climb where we could climb. Tell me not 
Of adverse storms that kept thee from the height. 
What eagle ever missed the peak he sought? 
He always climbs who might. 

I do not like the phrase "It might have been!" 
It lacks force, and life's best truths perverts: 
For I believe we have, and reach, and win, 
Whatever our deserts. 

                                             

                                                                                    Once taken an appropriate path there should not be second thoughts about it. Life can be at times a touch deceptive. Never annoy that it might have arrived that way or had not this etc. if you have a vision and pursue it over a period of stretch, fate can no longer distance you from the glory. We will always be who we are, irrespective of occurrence and vicinity. One who decides to do will be the one who achieves it.  We will be definitely laying the maximum efforts to back our stand.  The author wishes human effort to be an eagle which will continue to be on its task of flying at higher heights even though it fails to do so. Stressing on the ‘’Never say die’’ phenomenon. The phrase ‘’it might have been’’ could hide life’s best truth but we have to reach our destiny and show the world what we ought to…
