Hope not lost: still a winner

A man may say he has not made much of life
And all its attending good.
He may have to lie down at last unknown;
And forgotten with all his bright hopes
That danced before him in childhood gone like a vapour at night.
Yet, if he's able to say in all of his earthly failures;
'I have finished my course,'
'I have kept the faith,' (II Tim 2:4)
And His (God's) will has prospered in my hands,
Then, he is indeed a SUCCESS
