• DEFEAT

  

  LIFE IS NOT YOUR ADVERSARY FAILURE IS
  
  
  Opponents

  If Success and Failure
  Are Opponents

  Then Defeat
  is the Referee

  When  Neither
  one is Successful

  Then Defeat
  takes this Round.

  I could not Fail,
  I could not Lose

  Oh! the cries
  I’ve Heard
  When Ego Boasted.

  I could have Won,
  Arrogance Hailed.

  I am Fighting air.

  Win, Lose, or Draw,
  It is  not
  the smartest Bet.

  When Defeat
  Is Staring
  you in the face.

  Mirroring
  your every move.

  He will surely
  take you down.

  Round one is not over.

  Punches are thrown.
  From all Directions.

  Bob and weave,
  Will let you stay in.

  Keep on Fighting,
  To the end.

  Will!

  Will last as long as you.

  Life is not
  the one to fight.

  All the wrongs
  that are not right.

  Will!

  Will help you
  in your plight.

  Wrong is your
  Greatest Opponent.

  You must fight.

  Love will soften
  when it can
                     
  Those bruises
  will show
  Now and then.

  God can mend
  What man has done.

  Round two

  Life goes on.
  It is hard to fight.
  All lifelong.
  What can I say?   
  Try to Win
  There are still rounds
  to be Won.

  Now count.
  To the ends,
  You will know
  your wear.

  You’ve faced it all,
  And shown the  best.

  What more is left
  Then to see
  it all through?

  You stood your ground
  In spite of failures.

  Now
  you can call yourself

  A Champ.

  God is in your corner
  He will keep you
  in the round.

  Remember!

  You always
  have a prayer.

  Say it now.
  For it may be
  your last round….

  A POET’S NOTE

  Success and I
  Are very old friends
  It is failure
  I do not want to see again…

  Defeat,
  Keeps me in the rounds
  I have to fight both.
  To win this round.
  Success and Failure
  Are my lifelong mates
  I have to deal with them
  Round by Round
  It is never over
  As long as I’m around….

  “When the Trumpets Blow”
  WHEN THE TRUMPETS BLOW****
  Revisit once again
  You will better understand.
  Defeat is not your friend.
  It is the Opponent
  That will fight you
  To the end..
