As Simple As ABC

30-11-2023

If life was as easy as ABC
I’d see
To it I know my alphabet
But if I don’t get
It I’d turn to numeracy
And with accuracy
Memorize all but if I still fail
If I can’t nail
Either I’d have no choice but to learn
How to earn
My stripes in life
Which would make me come alive

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.

Great poem about rising to the challenges of life! I like the energy and how you manipulate the words even using numbers if it means survival!
