If I were to compare the things that I’ve done right

To the things where I’ve failed

Then the failures would come out on top.

But there has been more I’ve attempted when the chances arose

Than those, I ignored and did not.



To look back, to assess, to judge what was I

Is an impossible task to attempt.

As decisions were based on only what I knew

Not prejudiced by future contempt.



To have assessed the future with only that present eye

Demanded wisdom beyond my grasp,

But I tell you truly as I stand here today

It would still be to my heart that I would I clasp.

A Fool.

A fool is the one who can’t comprehend,
That to make a beginning one must have no fear of an end.
The end comes to us all, but how does it take place?
A fool never starts, in the hope of saving face.

To try is so worthy; to say no is a worthless choice,
What a fool pronounces loudest in the highest of voice.
Knocks come aplenty in a life that’s been led to the full.
But there’s no wisdom one can impart to a fool.
