Tiny were the risks, lady #1 took So small were the rewards she received
Moderate were the risks, lady #2 took So average were the rewards she received
None were the risks, lady #3 took So zero rewards did she received
Great were the risks, lady #4 took So outstanding were the rewards she received
I asked a lady friend of mine As you look at your life Which number are you
And without saying a word She curled up in the fetal position And started to cry
And this made me so sad Because even though she was crying Zero droplets of water Was falling from her eyes And this causing me, to say to myself "She must be #3 Because not even her eyes Will reward her with a single tear"
Laughed as i read the poem and am trying to figure out in earnest where i belong ! ;-) shoma

What a good question there! What we are and what we'd like to be! - I'm a number two and would like to be a number four althought I know I'm number one not your number one but my own number one.
I am a #4, to be sure. I have a strong belief in self and I take risks when I know I must to get my rewards. Life is short, I believe you have to go full throttle if you wish to get all the things you aspire to before time and ability run out. A lot of prayer doesn't hurt one bit either!!
Take care,
Sherry

I'm definitely a #4 and damn proud of it. Anything less is...well less. Why bother leaving the house if you can't get it together. ROFL
Seriously, you have some great insights into the human condition. This analogy can also apply to men. Living, itself, is a risk in today's world.
Kimberly has gone from a well-paid female executive one minute to a desperate woman the next. Thinking her day can't possibly get any worse, she finds out how wrong she is when she goes home. The only way to set things straight is to get even.
