Life Has Lessons
Warm apricot jam is this life.
Jam melted running into corners is
where lessons are learned; a
little hard or real hard ones in succession.
Ideas, ideals that we dream of
become those valuable hard lessons.
In time we see they are which
produce character, these are a must.
Mistakes, oversights, wrongs must be
lived over and lived over and lived
again until we learn the lessons to
life, which will forever be
ingrained into our being, then understood
End line: A quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Finish
A bright clear light of the rising sun
Reveals the dark corners are now clean
The Apricot Jam has changed into clear light
All the lessons are melded into one fine character
Inspired by HGarvey Daniel Esquire's contest
