Defeat?
Francis William Lauderdale Adams
WHO is it speaks of defeat? —
I tell you a Cause like ours
Is greater than defeat can know;
It is the power of powers!
As surely as the earth rolls round,
As surely as the glorious sun
Follows the great world moon-wave,
Must our Cause be won!
What is defeat to us? —
Learn what a skirmish tells,
While the great Army marches on
To storm earth’s Hells!
I am an optimistic, can do, and never quit guy. The spirit of hope indelibly marks my DNA. My research at The Ohio State University helped people discover the best in themselves and change their personal lives, public organizations, and whole communities. I bring the same spirit and enthusiasm to my blog to help those who grieve who find themselves suddenly alone, navigate their grieving. Join my more than 24,300Twitter (@alwaysgoodstuff).

Ray, thank you so much for these poems! I love English poetry but always had trouble finding good ones that are not too long and relatively simple, the ones you post are and they are always a good read. Thanks, you make each of my days a little better with the stuff you post 🙂
Thank you for you kind words. I try to find poems that uplift the spirit and brightens one’s day. Have a great day. Stay healthy. Stay strong. Ray
