Rebirth Defeat Despair Poem by Terence George Craddock

I wrote the poems 'Struggles Failure The Fall: Before Possibility Road To Recovery' and 'It Is Never About The Fall', inspired by my reply to a comment on my poem 'Rebirth Defeat Despair', made by the poet M.J. Lemon and dedicated to M.J. Lemon.

I wrote the split images 'Struggles Failures: Success Sown In Abilities: Determination Sustained' and 'Success Born In Struggles Defeat Is Bitter Sweat', inspired by my reply to a comment on my poem 'Rebirth Defeat Despair', made by the poet M.J. Lemon and dedicated to M.J. Lemon.

p4the road from adversity to prosperity can be a hard road to survive follow/ to have enough a small surplus enough each day/ is a luxury back breaking hardship real poverty would desperation plea believe a miracle to gain

p3but did they believe did they dare to rise/ success can be born in success/ success can for some even be easy effortless/ but success born in struggles defeat is bitter sweat/ lessons in struggle failure can be training for lessons leading to success/

p2to rise to stand to grasp to walk/ into any possibilities we can make create/ it is not about struggles failures/ many of the greatest minds athletes artists explorers/ business people ordinary people failed/ at some point in their lives/ even multiple times in their lives/

p1in the end it is not about the fall/ why we fall how far we fall/ it is about survival recovery/ who will help us support us/ on possibility a distant road to recovery/ if there is no help can we help ourselves/ if no one will believe in us help us/ can we alone muster faith hope determination/
