Life Is Hard Enough

Raised bucolic and pedantic Nothing taken for granted Dreams are for dreamers Life is hard Lessons learned came heavy handed Fathered by the Golden Rule Taught to be nobody's fool Schemes are for schemers Life is hard Wits are the logical tool Breaking from family tradition Always raising suspicion Teach the teacher Life is hard High price for independent rendition Days turn into years Happiness drowns in tears Believe a believer Life is hard Failure is not a career an original poem by the "poemdog" Daniel Turner

I'm sure most of us have broken with the traditions of our parents, etc. I did many times and never regretted it, though certain members of my family did. Their problem, I say, I have my life to live and develop. Staying adamantly in one's traditions is like being stuck forever in cement, where's the freedom, the progress? Glad to got a laugh from Mt. Rushmore. / M

Here is your serious side, Danny. Everyone breaks a rule now and then. Failures don't care, but those with a conscience do, and the fact that you've written this one shows you have a conscience. Well done.
