IN ANOTHER LIFE

IN ANOTHER LIFE In another life, my achievements were zero Yes, although I tried, nothing seemed to fit And saving others was never my single goal Even now, my existence is deep in this hole As saving myself, is always my primary role Perhaps that’s why I have a half empty soul Taking the easy way, often tempted to quit In another life, I shall try hard to be a hero

Well, I think we can give of ourselves in small ways every day and never be recognized as a hero or anyone even say a thank you, but we are still heroes to someone. Congratulations on this winner. Way to go. Sara K

I really like your rhyming pattern in this one, Howard. A thoughtful poem it is. I hope you actually don't believe yourself to be deep in a hole! Thanks for submitting and congrats.

failure is the pillar of success!- yes, trying and never giving up the best seed of hero.
