Not winning the race
Is not pretty at all.
They say
Its the race thats important
But when the trophy slips away,
Its not pretty at all
They say
Do your best, leave the rest
But the could'a-should'a thoughts
Are not pretty at all
They say
May the best man win
But when the best man is the judge's son
Its not pretty at all
They say
Its the journey that matters
But when one reaches a cul-de-sac
Its not pretty at all
They say
Dream, and the universe conspires to give it you
But when one the dream becomes a burden
Its not pretty at all
They say
In the long run it is for the best
But when the run itself is short
Its not pretty at all
I say
Nothing succeeds like success
And when optimism makes a fool out of me
It is really not pretty at all
Very well written and a lot of solid messages there :)
ReplyDeleteI have found a fundamental rule for myself which I am passing on to my 9 year old...that the only competition you should have with is yourself. Everything else will go about its own path eventually. It's you who has to live with you.
Lovely piece. Gotta follow your blog.
And hey....it will all come together. I am on a similar quest and I believe it will. Eventually.
One more label to add- life truths.
ReplyDeleteOne win and the prettiness comes back like the spring after a long dry summer of despair
Thanks, Hiyaa, for stopping by. And thanks for your encouraging words.
ReplyDeleteI also think it will come together some day. Soon.
