Although I am like most.
I don’t like to boast.
Having had my fair share of pain.
Pauses me for a moment to explain!
As with defeats teaching a lesson.
I would rather have simply progression.
Not 1 step forward and 2 steps back.
I would rather go on the attack!
Pushing ever farther ahead.
And not giving up ground, instead.
As to the matter of pain.
I have to say it’s quite lame!
Causing one to pause for a moment in time.
Contemplating the next move so sublime.
Maybe even having to take steps backward.
Makes it all the more awkward!
However, I will finally say.
I am still in the field of play.
Not to sit out my final chapter.
I am not, Yet, at my happily ever after!
Period. (oh & ouch)
