To your failures and triumphs,
To your pains and gains,
May you celebrate all,
That you have faced,
This year and those past.
For they spur you on,
They grant you the strength,
To stride to greater heights,
Regardless of the gaps.
Acknowledge the lessons,
From the lack of success,
For they bring you closer,
To your ultimate goal,
For you cannot fail,
Without first trying,
Thus victory requires defeat.
The first to create,
Will surely create mediocrely.
Those who follow,
Will widen and straighten the path.
Nonetheless,
To begin the creation,
You give its shape and journey.
So enjoy all that has occurred,
Within your life and for your dreams.
