Struggles Failure The Fall: Before Possibility Road To Recovery Poem by Terence George Craddock

in 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 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

to rise to stand to grasp to walk

into any possibilities we can make create
it is not about our struggles failures
many of the greatest minds athletes artists explorers
business people so many ordinary people failed
at some point in their lifespan lives
even multiple times during their lives

but did they believe did they dare to rise
success can be born easily 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 future success
the road from adversity to prosperity
can be a hard road to survive to follow

reflections nostalgic deep waters never ring shallow

to have enough a small surplus
enough for each day
is a luxury
back breaking hardship real poverty
would desperation plea
believe a miracle to gain
