! Life's Greatest Test! Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Our existence is an endowment
so let us cherish each moment
as we all take indulgence
of a finite experience.

Day by day we fight
to survive in our plight
as we tackle the ordeal
win or lose we must prevail.

Life is not all winning or losing
it is simply a way of living
with courage to thrive
and with faith to survive.

To accept defeat
with pride void of deceit
is a greatest test worthy of a reward
rather than to win a fraudulent award.
