A Letter To Success

Dear Success,

Falling is important in life

Gravity, Love, Judo

Happiness is found in

Piles of fallen leaves,

Mounds of fallen snowflakes,

Puddles of fallen rain,

Falling into the comfort of your bed after a long school year.

But

Change one letter, you get your archenemy!

Failing…

With greedy tentacles snatching your dreams

With raucous taunts disrupting your thoughts

With unbeatable trials knocking you down

Yes, I’ve heard all your complaints before.

I’ve even shared some of them with you.

However

Redemption and Opportunity hang out with Failing

They’re wonderful and are well-liked by many.

Although

Sometimes, people forget they’re there.

I bet if you tried to get to know them,

All three of them,

They may help you in many surprising and pleasant ways.

Sincerely,

Wisdom
