We do not have to stay beat, or feel bad about losing our seat.

Tyler Perry was homeless
living in his car
now he's a billionaire
movie star
Jesus was beat and
nailed to a cross
now he's a universal
big boss
I beg your pardon
God kicked man out
of the garden
Man has survived millions
of years
at one time only had spears
for protection
still isn't sure about
his holy connection

I was out on the mean
streets without a dad
walked around many days
hungry and sad
I was defeated at an
early age
but I remain free
not locked in cage
Author, poet writer
strong positive fighter

After being defeated
I refused to stay seated
In defeat I found
my true self inside

Great poem, friend Grady! The old saying "you can't keep a good man/woman down" is so true. We must believe in ourselves to have others believe in us; opening-up as you did in this poem proves a good man is revived! :o)

There you go, GEM, Trask said it best: cannot admit defeat without having known it. Or claim victory without having known struggle. You are strong; you are victorious; you are a better person for having known adversity. Well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
