Array ( [sid] => 3386 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => THE FAILURE? [time] => 2002-09-05 06:55:05 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I’m sorry you think me a failure,
If you think that’s what I’ve been.
To some life comes quite easy.
Others struggle but never win.

Just remember we’re storing treasures,
Not from men or an Earthly place.
It’s never if we win a battle.
It’s strictly how we ran life’s race.

We will not be judged my friend,
How we got there or how we did start.
The only real essential,
Is what’s written within our hearts.

There is no thought if you won or not,
When you are home for good in the sky.
And you can always be proud of the fact,
That you gave it your all as you tried.

Let others cheer life’s winners.
Let them each have their special day!
But the ones I feel the closest to,
Are those who have fun when they play.

In Heaven there will be no rackets tossed.
No golf clubs hurled in the sand.
No bowling balls in any gutter.
Just high five's to each woman and man!

THE FAILURE?

I’m sorry you think me a failure,
If you think that’s what I’ve been.
To some life comes quite easy.
Others struggle but never win.

Just remember we’re storing treasures,

It’s never if we win a battle.
It’s strictly how we ran life’s race.

We will not be judged my friend,
How we got there or how we did start.
The only real essential,

There is no thought if you won or not,
When you are home for good in the sky.
And you can always be proud of the fact,
That you gave it your all as you tried.

Let others cheer life’s winners.
Let them each have their special day!
But the ones I feel the closest to,
Are those who have fun when they play.

In Heaven there will be no rackets tossed.
No golf clubs hurled in the sand.
No bowling balls in any gutter.
Just high five's to each woman and man!

I agree with you , well done.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
