'What if...' - poem

What if I can’t cry
when heart is heavy,
I still can wipe a tear
with my laughing eyes.

What if I can’t fly
even if heart wishes to,
I still can soar high
with daring dreams.

What if words fail me
when it is most important,
I still can surely make
my silence expressive.

What if I can’t have
what I wish to,
I still can achieve
what I aspire to.

Poem has so many meanings that man can achieve even in failure.
In every part of poem what it dererves from a achiever is "Confidence"

Thanks for posting this.
