I Ate Them All |

I've traveled many lonely miles Since I've been on this earth They say that sorrow plants her seeds With every human birth. I've laughed a bit and often cried I've watched the teardrops fall And each mistake and foolish choice? I've had to eat them all. I ate the get of youthful lusts I've eaten words by score.. No matter how I've failed my course You'll find me wanting more- I've my fair share of follies Some large and some quite small But be they great, or miniscule In time I ate them all. |

I think this poem shows a lot of wisdom, but I absolutely love the title and how it works into the poem. You make me smile, John. Alison |

I've chewed on more than a few myself... and they're rarely tender and palatable. *S* Great write! |
