Failures

I do not want any nostalgia
Of times well spent
I only want to remember
The trials I underwent.
Now I realize that all the tears
The heartbreak and all the sorrow
Is there to lighten my future loads
To make m a better person tomorrow
All those troubles, those hardships
Those moments of battle and strife
Are little chips, little pebbles
That level the road of life.
I have bounced off each fail
Though it were a feather bed
TO reach new heights, horizons
Avenues I had never tread.
I understand that each shock
Each baptismal by fire
Has only proved to me my worth
That I don’t easily tire.
I know that this learning
This gain I will surely need
Later there shall be more problems
To solve them I will succeed.
