What if I fall?
What if I fail?
Will I bounce back
then later prevail?
Try as I might
in my own power
failure is all I find
Yet I have faith,
hopeful reliance on a power
much greater than mine
I will fly

It’s Quadrille Monday at dVerse Poets Pub again. De wants us to write a 44-word poem that includes her word for the year: bounce. I decided to also include my word for the year: reliance. Head on over and read how other poets are bouncing around in 44-words.
