Notes About The Poem

"Yalto"(pronounced YAWL-toh) is a poetry form I invented. 

Life Lessons

Life lessons...
            last a lifetime.
                Nuggets...
     of insight from people
    helped me grow, made me...
                a patient
                 thankful
                 tolerant
                  person.
               Lots of folks...
                 in my life 
       taught me life lessons
         I'm deeply indebted
                     to
         every one of them!
