"Triumph"
Dolores Jeanne Hopkins 1956 (Kountze, TX)
"Triumph"
During every phase of life, I've yearned consistently to win;
To win at something, anything, because I hate losing more than God hates sin;
The challenge is to somehow overcome defeat and failure----then finally become victorious;
To achieve something, anything worthwhile for me would be so glorious!
"Eager to quit, eager to lose" is an old, well-known expression;
To fail repeatedly is the principal key to grief, shame, and depression;
By now it's become far too overwhelming and a challenge beyond repair;
Achieving triumph over a major adversity will definitely eliminate despair!!!
