than what we see
no one ever got it right
on the first try
even as we are awed
by the magic of success
we forget that there was
a first try
and numerous failures
along the way
what we see is a man who
got up every time he got knocked
down to try once more
the trouble with success
is that it hides immaculately
what goes on behind the scenes
and that is the most important
because there were days heroes
felt like giving up
there were days they had no energy
but still got up and worked on their dreams
success demands getting up
even with the most justifiable excuses
we see the finished products -
an incredible song, poem, novel
or work of art
we see the complete athlete
and never think of days he trained
to push himself beyond the possibility of defeat
