Success Born In Struggles Defeat Is Bitter Sweat Poem by Terence George Craddock

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

the road from adversity
to achieved prosperity
can be a hard road

to survive follow
reflections nostalgic
deep waters never ring shallow

to have enough
a small surplus
enough each day

is a luxury
back breaking hardship
real poverty

would desperation
countless pleas believe
a miracle to gain
