We have seen vine,
Haven't we?
It is a climbing or
Trailing plant bearing grapes.
Haven't we tasted grapes?
Yes, we have.
We feel sweet
When we consume these,
Some grapes are tasted sour.
'Grapes are sometimes sour'
This is an adage we know,
Don't we?
There is a beautiful story
Behind it, isn't it?
The story is like this,
'Once a fox saw a bunch of
Grapes hanging over his head,
He jumped over to eat but
Failed to catch and eat,
He jumped and jumped
Consequently he failed
And left the place saying
'Oh, grapes are sometimes sour,
I don't want to have these'.
We feel one thing here
That one doesn't want to
Reveal his inability, does he?
And he says in other way,
'Grapes are sometimes sour',
Doesn't he?
If he were on attempts with tricks
He would be successful,
Wouldn't he?
It is said,
'Failures are pillars of success'.

The poem is a fine observation about human nature. We must be ready to accept our infirmities or shortcomings in stead of finding excuses for failure. Moreover, why bother about failures when they are the stepping stones of success. Thanks a lot for sharing the poem, Kumarmani ji,
