To Those Who Fail
To those who win the prize is given
They laugh and dance in glee
And little thought is ever given
To those who claim defeat.
Yet if not for those who walk
In shame and oft despair
Away from dreams unfulfilled
They would not be there.
For every one who wins the prize
Unsung are those who fail
But they’re the ones who often push
The victor to the grail
So hats off to those who tried
But suffer their defeat
The day will come when you alone
Will gain the victor’s seat.
