I have been defeated so many times before, but I have picked myself up from off of that cursed floor. How many times can I lose without finally giving in? How often must I fall before I finally win? Thought things had started to change; that I was indeed on the right track, I just wanted to move ahead without ever looking back. Things are not always the way that they might seem, and life is not that simple; no, it's not just a happy dream. Now I carry the scars born of defeats from the past. With time, the wounds will heal and only the scars will last. Oh, I might face defeat repeating with time again; but I'll rise up from the floor, because I KNOW where I have been. revised repost. I stumble, I fall and by the grace of God I continue getting back up.... It's better than I could have planned.. |

No, not scars of defeat dear lady, for we all have fallen a time or two......or more. As long as we keep getting back up and trying another day.....we are never defeated, only "more the wiser." hugs, Chris Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. |

Donna "but I'll rise up from the floor, because I KNOW where I have been." I think you already have! Such a positive flow comes through this poem.  |

"I stumble, I fall and by the grace of God I continue getting back up...." Your Spirit, Dear Donna, is indeed, indominatable!  Love & Light, Linda P.S. And in time, even the scars will fade... |

when the going gets tough, the tough get going although the thought is "have I got do this again" because I treat people as honest until they give me reason not to Yes - very good words, good image of someone who will not go down Dave |

Beg I to differ for were they scars defeat you would still 'pon the ground not viewing nor feeling the LongHaulBack ToUprightMe In my opinon standng scars are scars of victory pain lingers yet standing you rise in survival of self which is the greatest victory of all well done "High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy." |
