When I Lose

Jerry Reynolds

 

When I lose - and I do quite often

I start again with added caution.

Dusted off I count my blessings

But I never - lose the lessons.

    Much wisdom in a simple four liner. I wish I were so wise as your words and not ridiculed by temptations.

    • Jerry Reynolds

      Thanks, Dusk. Ahh - temptations, the original "Pandoras Box"

      Love this one, Jerry! You know what they call guy with two black eyes: A slow learner!

    • MLHnow

      I always need to learn to speak with less words and straightforward direction
      Not there yet!

      A mighty proverbial stanza here Jerry, and a much needed mantra to go by, especially in these hard times.

      Bravo, and I hope all is well.

        Thanks, A.S., and with you as well.
