Crews We seek perfection and in seeking find That our defeats and failures help us rise Above our poor attempts to greater heights, At last to reach our qoal and qain the prize. Though -often on the way our courage fails, Some small success may be the spark of fire That strikes a flame in our despondent souls And leads us upward toward our heart's desire.
