Daily disappointments beat Each one of us on down Aspiring none the less we Leap onto higher ground Into this world we stumble Naively in everyway Good deeds of those who're humble Will rarely carry sway Instead what more oft' happens The "poser" gets the prize Having more integrity Instilled makes us more wise Thus we battle silently Bearing a knowing smile Each time becoming stronger Cares cast off every mile And our humor is our shield Unfailing 'till the last Second place may be our lot Each time the die is cast Lowered sights for us are not Inspired by our losses Fervently we stay the course Empowered by our crosses 'Such is how the game is won Not all depends on chance Others may have jumped the gun They trade them-selves to dance For what may come too easy As often is to go Instead what we have worked for Rewards are what we know ------------------ Sometimes nonsense isn't . |

Yo Dr. Moose: You carve a fine line... excellent grain and a smooth finish. Like the head piece too. PS Working on something that should tell the tale about my disappearance from the 'Stute. Keep an eye out.. and don't trust Norman R. It was all his doing.  |

Nope, life is anything but fair! A lesson hard learned! But we are still winners when we accept it all(the ups and the downs) with grace! Wonderful poem! And a wonderful acrostic! ------------------ Denise |
