Way To Go ?

Fame in life, forgotten in death Vapours of fame, burned in the flame- Experience hard earned, lies dormant & spurned Crushed by the fear, not invented here- Better,not to look back, Travel blind,on this track.

To be happy, is to be satisfied with the good that is before us...not to look back with regret. Great advice, Brian, great poem with insightful thoughtful words to ponder. ~ Carrie

Well, as far as Christopher's comment goes, I lost mine a long time ago. This is thought provoking Brian, but I think I get it. We do get so caught up in the here and now. Perhaps those last two lines are good advice indeed. Love, Shar

I love the piece..for some reason the last line made me think of Lot and his wife..I am losing my mind Brian. The piece is filled with a wonderful message. Great job brother.
