A nice poem by Herbert Kauffman titled Victory that Frank urges us to read
Victory
- Herbert Kauffman
You are the man who used to boast
That you'd achieve the uttermost
Some day
You merely wished a show
To demonstrate how much you know
And prove the distance you can go
Another year we've just passed through
What new ideas came to you?
How many big things did you do?
Time...left twelve fresh months in your care
How many of them did you share
With opportunity and dare
Again where you so often missed?
We do not find you on the list of Makers Good
Explain the fact!
Ah no, twas not the chance you lacked!
As usual you failed to act!
