Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

Advice

My advice is just go ahead and do it.
Don't be afraid that you might screw
  it up. Life is meant to be lived to the hilt,
  you know. You don't want to look back 
  and wish you had tried it. No, that's not
  for you...
What? You say you've been diagnosed 
  with what? With agoraphobia? Oh, my. I'm 
  so sorry. Forget everything I just told you.
No, you don't want to cross America on a 
  train. Of course not. Sometimes I'm such
  a bad friend...

Ann Foster May 10, 2021 at 12:45 PM I wanted to cheer and then cry. So true every word... but a real friend would have repeated the first part again and again to him or her... Stand up... Live live or miss it... it is a choice... God Bless... You are a wonderful poet. Ann Gershon Wolf May 10, 2021 at 4:13 PM Thank you, Ann.

Daniel Turner May 10, 2021 at 4:52 AM People who give advice rarely heed their own. Great topic, Gershon. Gershon Wolf May 10, 2021 at 4:08 PM As they always say: 'Physician, heal thyself!' Thanks, Daniel. :) gw
