The Last Sad Loss and Fall

Being first in the race is so hard, 
Frazzle may make you stumble; 
If you're left alone at the tail end, 
LAST means Learn About Standing Tall.

If you cry in distress and sorrow, 
Lonely and torn and due for repair; 
Dry the tears in your eyes, for
SAD signifies Smile Away Despair.

When triumph seems so elusive, 
Beat defeat to be fearless; 
Little did you know that
LOSS means Lean On Sweet Success.

When highs turn into lows, 
Grounded down below the strife; 
You'll find in your heart that 
FALL stands for Fly Aiming Long Life.

Life is not always a walk in the park, 
Before you rise reaching the glorious goal, 
Seek God's help first for you to endure
The last sad loss and fall.
