165. The Goal is Won165

```

Your days of orphan-sorrows

Are behind you

And

Not beside you.

Why, then, do you

Helplessly cry?

Your days of excellence-joys

Are ahead of you

And

Not behind you.

Why, then, do you not

Immediately run and declare:

THE GOAL IS WON.

```

165 Note: When composing a song based on this poem, the author changed line 10. Original “Not beside you”. Revised “Not behind you.”↩
