Lessons Learned

A lesson learned, not so profound. When things go up in time they come down. Some time crashing hard as they hit the ground.. Some people go up, at least I have found. At first filled with mirth and fun to be around.. With time their judgement becomes unsound. They start doing things completely out of bounds. They need a safe space, a supportive soft mound, to save face as they come back down.

A great poem dear Nancy. So many lessons to learn throughout life. Very true what you have cleverly expressed here. Love the last two supportive lines - it illustrates nicely just what a caring, thoughtful person you are. Really enjoyed reading it. Thank you for sharing. Hugs and smiles to you :):)

Hi Christina, I appreciate your kind feedback. Since apparently so many others are struggling with mental health issues these days and there appears to be no responsibility given to their doctors who presribe and don't monitor, I'm thinking it takes a village.

Dear Anne-Lise,' I do hope you are well and that your weather is agreeable. There's always something to learn in life and people are an never ending puzzle some times. God bless and thanks for commenting.

Hi Sand Blown, Glad you like my little write. I'm never going to change my simple Dr. Seuss type rhymes as that's what comes naturally and fun for me. Thanks for weighing in and have a good pm.

Hi Paula, I don't think my attention span is as long as the rest of yours on this site. I don't like being at the computer too long and most of my stuff is random n quick rhymes. God bless you and I hope you have a blessed day. Thanks for your comments, much appreciated.
