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!
