Lessons Learned In Youth

Lessons Learned In Youth. Eyes like diamonds decorating a rose sweet lips to decorate her perfect nose A face made for benefit for all to see a girl too good for the likes of me She passed me by not even casting a glance yet my mind was on pure romance I could hear her song night and day yet to me she had nothing to say Foolish dreaming gathered me no date best to speak before it is too late O' what words would serve me well I had nobody to help me , nobody to tell Fearing the worst and praying for the best I decided to try a very simple test As she passes by I'd just step up to boldly say Hello! And then begin to earnestly pray That my bold step was met with a good reply she'd be nice to me yet I know not why Doubts and fear racked my fevered brain daggers in my heart was my relentless pain So I finally ventured receiving a great reward finding suddenly talking to her wasn't at all hard We dated for forty-seven blissful summer days then each found others and parted ways I learned nothing ventured nothing you will gain yield not to fear stepping out into the glorious rain Life sends us on a glorious and rewarding ride best just go with the flow , ride high on the tide Robert J.
