Strike a waltz, hear the three shades of loss:
\nDidn’t train, reached too far, fell asleep.
\nThough I rise and go on, I can’t win,
\nPer the rules,\u00a0I missed that when\u00a0I snoozed.<\/p>\n
Triple-time, triple beat, triple-fail:
\nNow the best I can do is support
\nThose who didn’t fall down, who held on.
\nLook beyond wounded personal pride.<\/p>\n
Cheer the winners who write to the end!
\nRaise a smile with a comment and ‘like’
\nAnd my personal goal was achieved:
\nTo rekindle my passion to write!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
