There is Victory after Defeat--By Glenda Frazier--United States

There is Victory after Defeat

I have won some victories after defeats
I have crossed the fiery heat and burned, sweated and wept
I have seen sadness and pain...looked it straight in the eyes!
I have suffered while I've lived and seen people die
Yet through it all I have achieved several goals
As victory was just beyond the dreary road
Through victory I have seen another day
As defeats may come and go, it's for victories I shall wait 

(Previously published in Poems that Bleed)

Glenda Frazier and her husband Andre reside in Pace, Florida.  She has been writing poetry for over 20 years and has finally compiled some of them in her most recent book, Poems that Bleed.  She enjoys writing and spending time with her family and friends.  God has instructed her to share her book of poems as an inspirational tool to witness to the lives of her readers.
