Failures - Visitor's Poem

by Emmanuela Jolteus

I cry softly as I lay in my bed
Because I can’t get rid of these tears I shed
I lay quiet and still with these thoughts in my head
The thoughts of my failures and the millions ahead
If I could be perfect for just one night
I would prove to everyone that yes I can do right
I would stop all the problems I would stop all the fights
Oh yes to millions I would be such a sight
But no one on this earth gets that opportunity
To live with such pride and the integrity
Failure is a part of life
No one can be a perfect child, husband, or wife
So I live each day like it’s my last
I don’t focus on the future and I don’t focus on the past
I just live my life and let the time pass
Because life is a huge hour glass
