ok here it is--that poem I wrote on April 28, 2003....enjoy...

FAILURE

You talk to me like I'm a child.
You make me seem all worthwhile.
You make the world a funner place,
but "funner" never won the race.
You're so bold, so fiesty, so courageous
and yet you don't believe in He who made us....
which tells me who you really are--
tells me that you'll never go far
because He who has no Faith, has nothing at all
and He who has Hope, will NEVER, EVER fall.
You openly cast out razor-sharp words
hoping that the will make your prey hurt.
Defense is never the best offense, or didn't your Daddy tell you?
But how could he? Your teachers were too busy trying to fail you.
Once upon a time, you meant a lot to me.
You were my future as far as I could see.
Now I see my future, and it points me in a different way...
So goodbye, my Failure, we'll meet again someday.
