Launching the Lifebuoy

Loosen up!  laugh off unlucky breaks;
Lifelong lesson: settle mistakes.
Let’s get going; I’m your friend.
Lights shine at tunnel’s end.
Little things loom large
Listen, take charge.
Learn a new
Lease on
Life.

What a lovely nonet. I like the way you started each line with an L. It makes it more special.

Thanks, every little poetic device helps make a point. Wish I could have shaped it as a inner tube. Appreciate your read and reply; it takes time and energy.
