Keeping The Flame Poem by DOMINIC PREMPEH

Feel the downs of every ups
Feel the sorrows of every joy
Feel the set-backs of every move
Feel the failures of every triumph
So that you don’t go swollen headed

Feel the attempts in every failure
Feel the success in every attempt
Feel the joy in every tear
Feel the relief in every lament
So that you don’t go down-hearted

Our world is just that
The more you go, the more you forget the past
Success swells the head, failures break bones
Feeling the opposite in the other
Keeps man on track
