Day 14 Work Conquers All

“Work conquers all”, they say,
And I walk tall,
Or I bend low
My eyes tearful
Of failure despite this
Wisdom they have carved
Within my memory,
Despite the grit I feel
For being so imperfect.

Work might conquer all.
Yet, who’s to specify what’s “all”
In every person’s life?
