He Feels Disappointed To Have Not Made The Grade Poem by Francis Duggan

Any hope of success from him does seem to fade
He feels disappointed to have not made the grade
So much money and time in his project he did invest
And no consolation to him that to succeed he gave of his best

Since his best for material success he is one who did try
The saying of the harder you work the luckier you get to him does not apply
It is a known fact that every business venture undertaken does not succeed
And disappointment at failure can be quite great indeed

A failed business venture and now unemployed
And though still in his twenties and time on his side
He has lost most of his self confidence and self belief
Failure to self esteem can be a thief

He does not seem happy the man plagued by self doubt
But then suppose he has nothing to feel happy about
A failed business venture and now unemployed
Have become a huge dent to his sense of pride.
