Our Limitations
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Better to stay close to land,

Than to wander too far out.

Life is precious and easy to lose,

If we get too careless with it.

 

The brave will take chances,

That others will not try to do.

One may rely on their ability,

While the wise know their limitations.

Wise words George, well done my friend! "When is Doubt, Don't Go Out" is our Happy Landings Kayak Club's motto. Amen!

Fools and dreamers venture out and create a whole new worlds for us to enjoy. Many lose their lives in the process. A life well lived is better than a life spent limited––especially by unwarranted fears.
