failures to courage to inspiration

How many times

did I fail?

oh I cannot use my fingers adding my toes

to count them.

how many times 

did I crash?

at work, with friends and love...

the count of the sand is an exaggeration to compare

but I feel like that much.

How many times

did I have my face flat on the ground

or on the wall?

another hyperbole

but maybe like the count of my hair.

times that I thought I cannot stand anymore

and days like there is nothing good to tomorrow

are just too many to count

and still they come once and a while...

But you know what,

I am what I am today

because of the good and the bad

that I have been through.

Suz said, "You are wonderful to read, kind and sensible,"

Chiccoreal commented, "It is easy to fall in love with you!"

Kaykuala, my Pareng Hank expressed,

"you are lovable in all aspect and respect."

Steven uttered, "you are awesome and you will be loved"

and lastly JC said, "JJ is a Gem!"

My failure gave me strength to stand,

My Strength gave me the courage

to brush away the dust of fears and failures,

and that courage and your love and support my family and friends

gave me the Inspiration!
