Life is full of such disappointments in people
and those of us who love and give them chances are called simple fools.  But we are holy fools, instead, not valuing what the world values.  We see, in its victories, defeats of the soul, and, in its defeats, love triumphant.

Your closing line(s) to your post usually bring your entire poem into focus for me - as was the case today.  You definitely write with a great deal of passion....

Wow Jen... Excellent!
I see that NiteTide has already said that, and I hate to be repetitive of others, but I can't think of a more appropriate word.

Great work, as always!
