VICTORY

VICTORY

I never did succeed at first
Yet winning never slaked my thirst
But giving up I can’t abide
At least I know that I have tried

Can no-one ever scale that wall
Too high for some, no chance at all
A brave attempt can’t be denied
At least I know that I have tried

Does anyone run the fastest mile
Or finish races with a smile
I still have much resolve inside
At least I know that I have tried

I never did succeed at first
At least I know that I have tried
