In Disappointment's Wake

Have I been disappointed before

Yes, mightily so

But, I didn’t allow my disappointment to break me

Instead, I allowed it to continue to make me;

You see, to quit, to stop, that is always the easiest

But to continue, to persevere

Is what makes a true hardened winner

Because “hard winner” carries

With it, a story to tell

And such a story can only be fashioned

By having walked through !#@!*#,

So, the thing to do is learn

Disappointment’s lesson well

Because the telling of your story

May just be the catalyst that causes

Another not to fail.©

In Disappointment's Wake 2

Being disappointed, hurt, or crushed

Are things that we all have been privy to

But the thing is, to not allow that

Disappointment, hurt, or being crushed,

To define the lasting you

But to use that avenue to reach

Heights never imagined, as you

Work on getting close(er) to GOD

While you walk the pathway that

That others before you have trod

And always remember to mark the pathway

That you trod because you just might be

On a work detail appointed to you by GOD.©

(Based on Romans 12:12.)
