The mistake I had never expected,
I did it without getting into awareness
Of how it would react.

Has I sit back and analyzed why do I lied.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow,

55 Years Of His Existence.

Though mountains stood in silence to defy me,
I'd try to make them subject to my skill.

And should have come to grief,

A fool beyond belief.

Love Is The Most Important
It's sadness in the world, despair, pain,
Nothing is easy, nothing is certain,
Only the sea, the sun and the sky makes me happy and i think,
That's worthy to fight and for life to win.

A Successful Dad

To capture life's prizes, and others may sneer;
The whole world may loudly declare I shall never
Be worthy the gunpowder to blow me from here.

Against the glory of a world on fire,
Now burned a sudden hill,
Bleak, round, and high, by flame-lit height made higher,

And I noticed there were several 'unsatisfactorys' there;

But the wind suddenly whisper this sleepy heart of me
As I awake, I'm falling into the pit I'm digging miles away
Hoping and pleading that dream wasn't brought into reality

Success And Failure
I do not think all failure's undeserved,
And all success is merely someone's luck;
Some men are down because they were unnerved,
And some are up because they kept their pluck.

It Couldn't Be Done
Somebody said that it couldn't be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That 'maybe it couldn't,' but he would be one
Who wouldn't say so till he'd tried.

Propped up and uncomplaining. On a chair
Beside him was a dreary bowl of broth,
A magazine, some glasses, and a pipe.

And least intent on what most I require,

Deplorably, are not as yet the same.

The rolling glory of their golden hair,
And emperors extinguished with a smile.
