Failure

\"In the USSR, we only had oranges on New Years!\"

Is what my Mother always said,

While trying to teach me a simple lesson

To not take things for granted

I must learn to count my blessings

for soon they could be gone

anything I\'ve ever worked for

and the love I thought I\'d won

Because sooner or later

Life gets in the way

Roadblocks of failure and disappointment

Appear in just one day

But I can\'t let that stop me

Simply make myself a new path

It might be difficult at first

But the anger will eventually pass

Then I\'ll realize all I\'ve ever wanted

Is what I\'ve had all along

Among my friends and family

I\'ll rediscover where I belong
