Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

He Had HIs Chance at Life

                He had his chance at life
                   Fear held him back
                Instead of moving forward
                   He retreated in reverse

               His tombstone’s inscription terse
                   ‘Life’s blessing ~ his curse’
