Eight lessons I learned in life... (In the order I learnt them)

Andrew Charles Forrest

  1. It’s a onetime visit so you better get it right
  2. No room for mistakes or time to be polite
  3. So wear your best tuxedo or that shiny party frock
  4. One twirl around the dance floor on this wet and mossy rock
  5. So find the ones who love you, keep them close and treat them well
  6. Learn all you can about them, when they’re gone they cannot tell
  7. It’s a onetime visit so you better be polite
  8. and it doesn’t really matter, if you don’t always get it right.

    Awesome read and write. Loved the message. First options of one means a lot. If your misread it's almost impossible to get another shot!

        Eight made it great enough for a plate
        Making me feel its never to late

        Definitely a favourite and well needed too

        Very well written.
        Where others would drone on and on with the message you convey you have managed to pack so much into this piece in a succinct compact way.
        It's punchy and truly meaningful.

        I like it.
