The Cost of Failure

The Cost  of Failure

I try my best to do a thing,
    and when I fail to reach my target by a little bit,
          I am flogged in the street like a mangey mutt,
               by my love, so sweet?

Sometimes we all fall a little short,
     that does not mean the mission I abort,
          to my goal, I slog along,
               even though the treatment I receive is wrong.
