success in defeat
for it matters not
winning the race
but that you ran
in completing it
you have won
for your race
is not with man
I made a pledge to myself to write a poem a day for the entire year. Now to follow through. I preface this with a reminder; most of the poems written for this year long project will be done so spontaneously and therefore will not be edited. Bear with me on this. The project goal is to get them written over getting them perfect. Several times there will simply be the poem with no title. When that happens suggestions for a title will be welcomed in the comments.

This poem is one of your best. It's classic, one to be quoted and memorized and read by all. I'm so very proud to be one who has read it.
