[net.poems] At Twenty

This was seen recently by me...

	AT TWENTY

If, fifty years from now, when I survey
The scanty roll of things that I have done,
I find a score of visions unfulfilled
And victories I dreamed of still unwon,
I'll doubtless see mistakes that I have made
And places where I lost because I picked
     the losing side;
  But not a failure shall I find
  In the trail I've left beheind,
Where I might have won but didn't, just because
     I never tried.

                         anon.
