Failure? Either a Foe or a Friend


It is a crumpled and frustrating flat tire
That is slumped there going nowhere
Ambushes a desperate journey so dire
Hinders progress to a goal so glorious
Mightily striving to stifle the coveted bliss

It is a cruel, a virulent cancerous epidemic
Impervious to medicine, impossible to cure
Relentlessly pervades every other plan
And tries to bring them too down to failure
Yes, to murder the zeal and vanquish all hope

It is a darling friend and dear companion
Who closes the useless and inferior doors
And opens doors of grandeur and promise
Doors abounding in so bright opportunities 
All rallying to push a soul to a worthy level
