Wren Rushing Poet Rhyme

Have No Fear

An idea wrapped up in a dream, 
it will never work, don't even try. 
Another wacky out there scheme, 
better to let it lay and die. 

If that were the attitude taken, 
by those great inventors of old. 
Like Edison, Bell and Franklin, 
great men who were so bold. 

We could't call the ones we love in the middle of the night,
we would still be in the dark without their bulb of light. 
Without the brothers Wright, we could not own the sky,
we would never have the right to spread our wings and fly. 

If we had been too cautious, to venture into space, 
this moment in history we could never face.                                                                                                             We would have never stepped foot on the moon. 
if we had listened to those, who said it was too soon. 

Strike while the iron is hot, 
that's the motto we should adopt. 
Fear is just a wall to keep in hope, 
let's unleash our dreams, let's cut the rope. 



" Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. 
The most certain way to succeed is always 
to try just one more time. "    -   Thomas Edison

P.S. Awtry October 31, 2018 at 10:57 PM I love this! If only we would value mistakes for the education they are, we would be more willing to try!

Tom Cunningham October 31, 2018 at 11:43 AM I enjoyed this Wren, yes if you dont take the odd risk you will never learn, yes a few mistakes might have been made but we learn from those mistakes. Tom.
