Failure
Why and why me in stumbling spree?
What yet may be comes certainly.
Why do we fail to see things clear?
Wit now avails a feisty cheer.
Why do we fear failure that shows?
Rude shock marks clear the awkward flow.
Why do we see trouble and pain?
Learning must be beyond mere gain.
Why this rude pain that brings harsh hurt?
Humble the rain that washes dirt.
Why do I need to bleed to learn?
Peace grows from seed with toil I earn.
Why, when and how to live truth here?
Troubles endow bold poise to steer.
