The Fool

There is more than one fool on the hill I know because I am one of those fools I am a fool who stands upon his own hill So proud of my hill, so proud to be a fool So proud to have hit rock-bottom then to have climbed back up and fallen again and climbed back up again... because what matters is not the fall but the climb back up... So proud to have crashed and burned and risen from the ashes and healed then to have crashed and burned again and risen again and healed again... because what matters is not the crash but the rising and healing... So go ahead, my friend go ahead, chuckle and shake your head but we are very much alike, you and I The only difference between you and I is that I KNOW I stand alone upon my hill and you do not yet see that you stand alone and perfectly still upon your own... Inspired by the song:'The Fool on the Hill' by The Beatles

A fool you are not.......for only a fool does not know he is a fool......one who admits to being foolish, cannot be a fool.......you are more cool, than foolish.....:) Excellent song to pay tribute to......you rule !!

You of all people, are wise,....but NOT a fool........because a fool doesn't see that he has been foolish! A wise man, (as you are)......is wise enough to crash and burn....heal, and rise.....and come out laughing ! You have a way of making the rest of us smile ! Loved this the first time...and still do !

Really thought provoking and a great motivational piece. Seems to me that you're saying the weakest man is that has never taken a tumble. Perseverance is the real test of strength! Awesome poem!
