With failures hand in hand

  I have walked a mile

  and I don't understand

  Why is that I smile

 

Failures have made me stern

Failures have made me strong

Failures have made me learn

what is right and wrong

 

 Failures have let me burn

 like a flower in a flame

 and they have made me learn

 that life is but a game

 

Failures have squeezed my soul

and all my tears were taken

Though I tumble fall or roll

My heart will not be shaken

 

Failures have pushed me down

and taught me how to rise

With failures I have known

how to become wise

 

your victories can't be sweet

if you have not failed before

So it's a boon to meet

failures at your door

 

With failures I have stood

and walked along a mile

I have learnt that they are good

and that's why I now smile ...
