I am content...
for I have known Defeat
It is not Success...
*for she is but an elusive *****
No...
To dine and dance with Defeat is what defines you,
This is what makes you
It is only through the door of Defeat
that we step into ourselves and find out who we really are
We must needs embrace Defeat
and with grace find the reality to go forward
Courage is found in the bittersweet battlefields of Defeat,
It keeps the coals of the soul burning bright.
