No one begins at failure
Failure is nobody’s goal
So we ought to encourage each other
And not be so critical
We all need a shoulder to lean on
Love does not boast or gloat
Iron sharpens iron
It is not a blade against the throat
Nobody is a failure
Who among us has not fallen?
We should reach out to each other
Helping the feeble and burdened
Failure is not a destination
But simply a stepping stone
And we all need each other
Nobody should struggle alone
No one begins at failure
And failure is not an end
We all ought to encourage each other
And simply be a friend

Last night at my mom's birthday celebration my dad encouraged us to, as parents, never to give up or dwell too long on our failures but to keep the faith and keep on keeping on.
Why is it so easy for us to believe in failure rather than success?
Failure is a rung on life's ladder. I'm contemplating the definition of failure this morning.
Yes indeed! I found his words deeply touching. A good night and precious memories.
