Limitations

Limitations

"A man has to learn his limitations."
Dirty Harry in Magnum Force!

I like to play big and realize I can't.
I know what it takes for me to post 
a poem and do comments.
No ten second jobs here, not ever!

So, I have to stop beating a dead horse
and move to the rear.-))
And enjoy the ride for the time I 
have left here!

With regrets,
Panagiota

You're right Panagiota, sometimes a few minutes turns into an hour on here, we have to try and get that balance. Tom

Hi, Tom. It sure gets out of hand for me! But that is my fault entirely. There is a world to live in that demands attention. Poets are human beings not gods. Yes, I know they think they surmount History,Literature and God. Panagiota

I like the honesty and the positive attitude of this poem. Accepting our limitations makes them more bearable.

I am so glad you got the positive aspects of this one. You are so right! Acceptance too, brings more freedom and happiness to do things that I can do. I appreciate, always, your comments and the wise remarks from Dirty Harry,he's fearless in truth telling. So brief and powerful. Panagiota.Be blessed!
