Thy Destiny Be

Thy Destiny Be 

If failure be thy destiny
Then work to no avail
But I say try head held high
Proudly unprevail

Face the raging force of fate
Swallow scorn with scoff
Try to find a kindred mind
To pick you up and dust you off

Always try to look beyond
A few flaws in a friend
For failure be the destiny
That mortal men can’t mend
