My ultimate companion

I invited my misfortune
To be my guest,
And he came with all his ugliness,
I entertained him with delicious items,
I lay the table
And served the dishes of
My desires, my aspirations, my hopes,
My insignificant success,
And of course my ambitions.
He was extremely pleased the way
I entertained him.
He made me his friend forever
And I was also pleased to have
A longlasting friendship
Cause, like fortune, he never frowned at me,
He never threatened me of failure,
Nor played with me success.
He was always with me,
He was my ultimate companion.
