TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN

TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN

A Poem by Rose of many colours
"

problems student nurses face with some of their seniors at a teaching hospital in Trinidad.

"

 TAKE THE BULL BY THE HORN

 

When the path way of your journey turns narrow,

Don’t fly away like that black sparrow.

Never- allow your mind to grow a frown.

Take the bull by the horn.

 

Should you allow your day to turn into a nightmare?

Arouse yourself to be aware;

For the purpose you were born.

And take the bull by the horn.

 

Happy is the man who stood his ground.

And flew his banner of victory around.

When insults shot at his frame on and on

Know he took the bull by the horn.

 

Anything that is a trouble to your soul

Even that grey haired lady who is so old,

Her words will wilt away with scorn,

If- you take the bull by the horn.

And flew his banner of victory around.
When insults shot at his frame on and on
Know he took the bull by the horn."

"Happy is the man who stood his ground.

I agree with the poem logic. We must stand our ground always for the things we believe in. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry. Good to be able to read your words again.

You are welcome. I recommend Jack London "When Gods laugh." His book made me write 40 poems.

Thank you , your comment is inspiring...
This is full of positivity. When we encounter problems especially about people, we should not give up. We should go for what we aim, dive in and face the music.
People whom we are not fond of are not always wrong. Sometimes we also have to listen...take the good thing and throw away bad things about them.

Remarkable and relevant piece. Thanks for the share.
