Fate Plays No Role in Failure

 

Fate plays no role in failure; true in every lesson learned

Those who feel infallible are those who stand infirm

Life is not an accident for those that have been born

Though the world can be a sunrise, and the world can be a storm

 

Whether one’s days are full and lavishly adorned

Whether one’s days are void, so tattered and so torn

When one’s days on earth have ended only God can confirm

One cannot decide himself when his life has been adjourned

 

Even if one starts to fall and loses all well earned

Even if digging one’s own grave is so profoundly yearned

Even if one’s heart corrodes and slowly starts to burn

Even if one’s appearance does not meet that of the norm

 

Even if one’s frigid nights never become warm

Even if one’s accomplishments never are discerned

Even if one feels he has overdone his turn

Even if one feels he has lived so long in scorn

 

Sympathy be cast upon all who are unborn

One should not evoke his own demise and think to be reborn

One should build a strong foundation and keep it standing stern

One should hold faith, hope and love and remain standing firm

 

Fate plays no roll in failure; true in every lesson learned

Once a sole has left the earth, it cannot return

To whom it may concern
