Beginner to Winner.

Goldfinch60



In our lives we look ahead,

Look ahead to see what we can achieve.

We compete to try and win,

But we often fail.

But those who keep trying

And never give up and get better.

The more we try the better we get.

As we climb nearer and nearer to the top

We admire those ahead of us,

Those winners in the competition,

Wondering if we will beat them.

What we need to realise though

Is that winner ahead of us

Was once a beginner,

As we are.

    ANGELA HERE ~ Gut Mitwok Onkel ANDY ! On lunch break catching up on MPS. Thanks for a cool piece of Chet Jazz - sooths the nerves after a Busy Morning in the Aquaterapy Pool ! Loved the Poem reminding us we are all on the *Competitive Ladder of Life* ! Brian & I are still on our *WAY UP* but Im hopng my next role (post COVID 19) will be as a Mother rather than *Head of Physiotherapy* !

    Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
    Love ~ A & B & Smokey 💛💛💛

      Tryers who get up once they drop are worth copying as your fine verse says today Andy - - an inspiring read.

        Thank you Fay, we must never give up.

        Great poem and perfect timing for sometimes we need the encouragement to not give up, to keep practicing and see where it takes us. Thank you.

          Thank you Clara, we must never give up in our lives.

          I feel as if a bomb just landed on me and woke me up to the universal truth you just penned ... and then, I noticed if one looks at the whole picture (the form of this fine poem) it is shaped like a bloomin bomb too .. boom boom 🙂

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Neville.
            I would like to say I did pen it like a bomb but 'fraid not, it just turned out that way when I centred the words. Boom, boom!
