In Praise of Failure

I was unable To see his face I was unsure All I remembered Is his voice Soft and gentle "Little one, please Tell me something In praise of Failure." I stood there, silently Without any intention To reply him back And in my mind I was composing A thousand words For a world, undivided With hope and peace For every single soul For me, for him For all forgotten souls In darkness and despair We must praise failure We must do so As failure teaches us To rise again and Face all the odds Fail and fail better.
