How fast one ran may be defined <br />By the hurdles one faced. <br />How long one ran may be judged <br />By the cripples one sustained. <br />How far one ran may be arrived at <br />By discomforts one encountered. <br />How best one ran may be viewed <br />By odds one managed to overcome. <br />Mere records show not real merits. <br />08.08.2008<br /><br />Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/real-merits/
