Don't count your Chickens until they Hatch and Chirp around

Dont Count your Chickens until they
HATCH
And
CHIRP
AROUND
Because Sometimes
When we look too HARD
Ahead, with
Great--Expectations
We will GET
DISAPPOINTED,
With
SAD
FROWN

Do not Count your Money
Until it gets in your
HAND
Be HUMBLE
Where you
STAND

Sometimes we just get Excited
And Loook too
Far
AHEAD
Then when
SKIPS
  DIPS
    And
       POT-HOLES
Appear, in the Road
Ahead, we get
Set Back, with
Disappoint and
DREAD

So when what we
PLANNED-FOR
WISHED--FOR
And
HOPED----FOR
Does not
Perfectly go our
WAY
With
Straight
D-I-R-E-C-T-I-O-N
And we have to TAKE
A DETOUR
And
It's NO
FUN

As on our
ROAD
To
SUCCESS
We will
FLOURISH
And
SUCCEED
When every
Set Back, skip, Dip, and pot holes
We
IMPROVISE
  ADAPT
      And
         OVERCOME
Then we will
Triumph at our
Greatest,and
BEST
And PASS
The
Patient
SUCCESS
T-E-S-T
