Failure Is Not An Option
Much to the chagrin of those who
would prefer to lay witness to
one's failure's,
Imagine not for the slightest
moment that our will has become
so weak as to allow compliance.
Where once our vision may have
been clouded and our boundaries
seemed forever shattered,
know in the end that our naked
sense of vulnerability truly
is our saving grace.
For it is that woundedness
if you will that lends itself
to a higher awareness.
Do we not gain strength
from our painful life experiences?
Should we not strive harder to conquer
life's old injuries?
By following our instincts step by
step along the very road that has
been paved before us,
And yes expecting at times that
there will be treacherous curves
we must allow for,
Oh to throw caution to the wind
and laugh in the face of failure
invites us to celebrate our
mightiest strength of all...
COURAGE...
