Taking Chances  ღKKDღ




Taking Chances



Is it better to take
a chance and fail
Than to go thru life
with no hope of a full sail

The path we journey
is an unknown creation
but would we enjoy the walk
with a set destination

To walk on the safe side
does one really live
Could we taste love
without knowing how to give

Would we know what we have
without loss
Is anything worth while
without cost

How do we know if deep or shallow
when the water we fear to test
Can we go thru life not giving
and still expect the best

Without the horrid pain of heartbreak
can we know the true sweetness of love
Without knowing what alone really is
will we appreciate what is sent from above

Life is all about
Taking Chances

As always your words ring strong, true, and beautiful! It is amazing how our minds work alike. Spookie might be a better word. LOL I was just wondering to myself the other day, what my life would have been like, and who myself would be, if I had not been given all the trials and tears I have lived in my life. You have given me an oh so gentle reminder, that everything happens for a reason, and ours is not to question why. The why at some point will be made clear to us. I love the positiveness of this my dear friend. You are coming back in more ways than one, and I am here shouting YOU GO GF!!!! Beautiful as always. Much Love, KKL

You said it all loud and clear... the bad things that do happen in life help us appreciate all the good things and we learn more from failing then winning and failures let us embrace our successes better.
