Lessons In Life.

Goldfinch60



In our life we make them,

We make mistakes

And they can be very painful,

Very painful at times.

But as we age we come to realise

Those mistakes become a collection,

A collection of experiences,

And that is when we realise

That those mistakes are lessons,

Lessons to get us into the life,

Into the good life we now have.

    Good write Gol.
    Is there any remedy for my mistake of 'I started to sing one day'? lol.

    • Goldfinch60

      No, no remedy at all, just stop singing. LOL.

      Do utilise those mistakes by all means
      If you have the chance and it’s possible;
      This doesn’t amount to a hill of beans
      Where poverty makes it improbable.


      • Goldfinch60

        Even in poverty people can still learn.

          looking back, we see a trail
          a definitive path
          yet looking ahead, we can't fathom
          a route, towards progress
          looking side to side, we assume
          we've arrived...
          (when we think we know
          we begin to contemplate
          how little we do)
          thanks for sharing your encouraging words, dear Poet
          I read and learn

          • Goldfinch60

            True words Mek, keep going forward and all will be well.

                Very True.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Mistakes can become great lessons for us Andy - am listening so intensely now to a favourite voice as Frank sings the sadness of Autumn when love has been lost. Thanks for sharing the words and of course Sinatra too.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    My absolute pleasure Fay.
