Small and Simple Wins the Race

Grace once took me by the throat 
And squeezed until I gave up Pride,
But Pride remained still unprovoked 
As will began to slowly die

So faith stepped up and begged for hope 
But hope preferred unstable waters,
Which brought despair on noose and rope
And silenced all I had that mattered

Yet faith prevailed, though by a smidge
As small and simple took the win,
For little triumphs made me rich
And progress I did find therein
