Your loss, my win

Poem Artwork

 

Time waits for no one. Someone said this to me just the other day.

My mind takes quantum leaps ahead of it just the same, impatient,

like a pup on a slow stroll down a road full of adventures and fun.

I can't wait for this life to move faster, onwards and upwards and 

never come to a halt, I want to swallow it all in one big bite, chunks

falling and juices dripping from my mouth. Take me in, I shout!

Falling to my knees time and time again, I rise for yet another fight.

Living for the thrill of overcoming . Life is my personal obstacle course
and you can bet on me, for I live for the game.

Happiness will never leave no matter what, I can handle it.

 Chew me up and spit me out, your loss, my win. That’s how I see it.

I think that is how we all should think, staying focus on moving ahead without having to look back.

Glad you were able to seize every opportunity and not look back. By continuing to move forward illustrated by that rough bath downward to paradise, you are on the right track.
