488. My life-boat and my soul-boat

```

O failure’s life,

Although your existence

Is grief in reality,

Yet you live so long.

O victory’s heart,

Although your existence

Is abiding reality,

Yet you seem so brief.

O failure’s life,

I need you

To make my life-boat

Strong and solid.

O victory’s heart,

I need you

To make my soul-boat

Undeniable and unmistakable. ```
