What Is Defeat?

What is defeat?. . . Nothing but the first step to something better.

--Wendell Phillips

Admitting defeat is my first step into a beautiful world.
Like all first steps, it's hard.
But what a world I found myself in!
A world where I count!
A world where all are really equal!

This first step brings me into God's world of care.
I get love.
I give love.
I stay sober because daily I admit defeat.
