Staying Focused
Staying Focused

“Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see,”
It’s said “We are only as blind as we want to be.”
“Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.”
Past experiences can’t be erased by using “soap flakes,”
Most days I rise, not knowing “what’s shaking,”
To a “Sink or swim” situation not entirely of my making;
Also, “Where ignorance is bliss, ‘tis folly to be wise,”
So I’ll “Hang loose” and “In focus” on the prize.
