12. The Goal is won
Your days of orphan-sorrowsAre behind you
And
Not beside you.
Why, then, do you
Helplessly cry?
Your days of excellence-joys
Are ahead of you
And
Not beside you.
Why, then, do you not
Immediately run and declare:
“THE GOAL IS WON”?
Sri Chinmoy, The caged bird and the uncaged bird, Agni Press, 1998
