"life's Lesson Learned"

I would not have stifled my own style,
For child of the wild attention,
With the contentions so much,
With pose church inventions...
Attention’s pose.
Roses fading,
Swaying love,
Precept’s,
Mold.

I would have studied more my precept,
How to know my love twice as much,
Not mind illusion’s concepts!
I would now be using,
From heaven's treasures,
Naught of the mind!
Of love would...
Be my,
Cup. 

My earthly time would not have been spent,
On repent for the foolishness,
For I would have talked the talk,
The walk I would have done,
Pathway to success,
Blessed precept,
Kept in love,
Sacred,
Glove.

For Contest: Journey back in Time
In Honor of: Linda-Marie

If we could go back and know what we know now, life could have been different but we are not given that opportunity...Sad to say also we can't open someone else's brain and pour the info in either...Good luck in the contest with this deserving work..Sara

Oh yes, John, if I were to go back in time, this is what I would try to correct as well. A very strong statement made in your wise nonet! Wishing you success in the contest, my friend. Love, Carolyn
