Trouble

 

My own rendering of ex girlfriend Robyn Cooper and I. She the mother of the little boy Drake, to whom I dedicated my second book.

Tarry not down life's long road

stay quick fleet and true

Weary's the path on which you tread

be mindful of that you do

____________________________

Seek the heart as long you search

wrap it tight in Love's embrace

be mindful to it's needs and wants

keep it clothed in silk and lace

___________________________

Never assume once struck by love

she would not wish you to replace

But learn you hard as she is scarred

the feel of loss from her embrace

__________________________

Take you this from the lips of a sinner

heal the calluses, wounds and sores

The smart man learns from his mistakes

while the wise man learns from yours

 

Author's Note

It is always after the fact that we notice the problems that we ourselves have fed.

Very heartfelt and touching! Great write!

[Bard Constantine]

Love the last two lines, which are so true. Experience may help us learn, but better to learn from the mistakes of others and spare ourselves the grief. Outstanding sentiments...

[Crowley]

Love that last line, and it is so true, but unfortunately it seems as if experience is the teacher of almost everyone so the best we can hope for is to be smart, at least until we are older. Great way of bringing a little lesson and some reality into the room, and once again, great song.

This applies so well to our country and to us as individuals. We all should know this innately, yet a good peot shows us the way...
