Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Never look through a window, never go through a door If you are wary of what lies behind, you never will explore If you make this decision, you may see things that you like But there are maybe things that are not, this for you is your right Many have looked through a window, and many have gone through the door Its because we are all very different, for that you can be sure If nothing is ever ventured, then nothing is ever gained Those who desire never to venture, never gain or witness the pain http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/life-7.php

very true! All character building stuff happens when we choose to venture. I have fallen over many hurdles. In the beginning i "Failed", but now i know there is no such thing as "failure", it's just a better way of doing something

Yes, James, when we open the "door," we may find gain or pain. However, I like you am one to "venture." Happy Easter, dear Highlander! Love, Carolyn
