We oft experience failures,
which leave us in a fog,
sometimes, our failure nips our heals,
much like a pesky dog;
when this takes place, we can complain,
and sing a mournful note,
or, find a way to kill the pain,
and let it be our coat.
Think how you could,
turn bad to good,
when each setback occurs,
each time your failures dog you,
just turn them into furs.
Our woes can serve a purpose,
to show us how we're blessed;
sometimes, we need to know what's worse,
before we know what's best.
Oft' times, we are allowed to bare,
the bite of trials until,
we learn, in time, with grace to wear,
the mantle of God's will.
When sorrow next assails you,
your prayer, to Heaven raise,
let God exchange your heaviness,
for a cloak of song and praise.
next time your failure follows you,
and makes your life a mess,
ask God to make of it, for you,
a coat of His success!
