Life In Quick

First breath, dry and new, then too cry with sound, also new. Curious beginning. Venture forth through blindness of color, handicaps surrender to teachings via mother, fathers voice frightens, loud as a gong but he makes us strong. Stability grows in both balance and bone, rise from the crawl and stride first narrow then wide with pride. Run and sport, knowledge vs. instinct, error and lesson are all absorbed, accepted or aborted, take on the progression. Aggravation, alienation, company and motivation. A speaker a thinker, with tools can tinker and gain yet more in stride. Age and obtain the hint of rage and its terrain, harness both man and beast, share their desire and unleash the newly tamed. Choices in constant succession through life and relevance, retract with caution and advance awake. Pro create and pass the experiences wisely. Grow tired, weary, realize it is only time, years, some are long others short, importance is that they in any number not be wasted. Lay down now and rest, last breath, smile, a good life without denial, a beautiful legacy of think through ink.

I love the last line. Yes, life does pass us by quickly and what we learn and what we do in life also counts. A wise write. I would like to see you only post a few each day that way you will get more exposure from others reading them. Most will only read the first one or two and leave the rest. If you post a couple a day they are more likely to be read and your are to good to not be read. Phyl
