Losing and Lost

Nobody likes to be on that side
to be losing nor even be lost
but so many feel that's their case
particularly at the time of Jack Frost

Devastation comes down so hard
with that feeling of lost and losing
makes you wonder how it came about
just maybe down to the choosing

Life is all about right decisions
so important to know what it's about
be wise, patient, and true
this pathway's right without a doubt

Beware of falling into a downward cycle
for these, it just doesn't seem to stop
many have fallen into that awful pit
stay strong be sure you're no flop

Make your motto a positive one
that's about winning and being found
show yourself highly approved
be placed far above on higher ground

Original in thought and presentation. Hope you have kept at least one from slipping too far down. Some memorable lines in this piece. You have made it into a series of drum beats. Well done. Best wishes David in NZ
