The wonder blunder!

Have I blundered,

I once wondered.

Opportunities? Potentials? Goals?

All drained down the rabbit holes?

It was about one and eight, approximately my age.

Nervous, naive, doubting if I should turn to the next page.

Maybe someone else will do it better,

For I was still left with a taste bitter.

So i took a back seat.

Lets see others and learn from their wit.

I sat back once, and then once more and yet once more,

Hmmmm..... Lets try again, I should do better at chance number four!

And so I tried.

Willing to risk getting fried.

And again I blundered!

O! How did this happen, I wondered.

I was aged, about two and two there,

Thus, very little about outcomes did I care.

Better than the last time,

a mentor patted my back,

Continue, you'll eventually do fine!

He said, to that nervous rack.

And with his wisdom I proceed.

Understanding that a rose comes with its thorn.

The mantra if you want to survive or succeed,

Is that You must take the bull by its horn.

Many a times, tossed around

Yet landing on safer ground.

Thank you sir for teaching me to welcome my blunders,

For they are truly, the world's real wonders!
