A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Broker


love is an industry
its stock soars,
then dips

a bat in flux
investing is a risk
but we can't reap its rewards
if we don't gamble our hearts

I must admit, I read the other comments first. You would think I'm a braggart, but the value of my purchase is beyond price. I freely admit there were times when I foolishly didn't appreciate what I had gotten, thank goodness wisdom comes with age.

Take care - Dave

There should be a stock exchange for love you know where we can trade the useless ones for the nicer ones.

Thank you, Tania....yes maybe there should be.

Like the stock exchange, what a thought. Maybe increasing and decreasing in value on a daily basis. I think I would prefer a more reliable investment.

Gambling is as risky as falling in love. You never know when a proposal is considered as decent or indecent or you will reap sweet or bitter fruit of your love.... But unless diving into this uncertain arena.... The experience will remain out of reach

Yes no risk no gain. Its is said that one must die in order to gain heaven. But loss or gain, its all worth it in the end.

let the bean counters tell it, risk is invaluable beyond estimation. Or, as my gambler friends like to say, "scared money never wins anything". You can't win at love if you don't play. But if you do play and still lose,
your failure was worth that roll of the dice.

Go big or go home. No risk no reward. That coin can love you or hate you. Nice Jacob. I dig this for sure.
