An explanation of personal credo: "Failure creates success, and nervousness creates courage"... but only if you have the accompanying passion and dedication, which you clearly do.
There was hope ringing through you poem - a good take on what it takes to "go on" and not let failure and mistakes slow you. We look at ourselves so harshly. I remember that so well from when I was a kid. I thought everyone was looking at me and knew that my "new" coat was a hand-me-down from an aunt. And on and on we can be so critical of ourselves. Thanks for a good "save". There's a verse in the Bible that says "God overcomes our mistakes". I count on that also.
Seeing failure as an incentive to keep working is a gift.
A really nice write a worthy winner.
