You never know when life is going to change on you.. We’re running blind right from the very start.. The best laid plans of mice and man can fall right through.. So, never put your horse before your cart.. From the very first we have no master plan.. No way to tell which path we need to choose.. All you can do is do the very best you can.. It’s ‘Heads, you win’, or sometimes ‘Tails, you lose’.. You think your life is pulsing at an even rate.. The sun is shining on your road ahead.. But one day you wake up to feel the hand of Fate.. Has shoved you out the wrong side of the bed! It shakes you up, then changes all your best laid plans.. It changes everything you thought you knew.. That hand of Fate will shove you ‘til you understand.. It’s trying to make a fighter out of you.. A loser quits and doesn’t even start to try.. A winner doesn’t wait, but jumps right in.. With every change you meet, a new door opens wide.. And just inside, Fate greets you with a grin! There’s three things here in life on which you can rely.. Forever there, on that you can depend.. It’s life and death, and taxes..but can we deny.. The fourth is change..because it’s always been.. Life is always changing, always on the move.. And challenge is a now familiar game.. It’s time to slip into an unfamiliar groove.. And learn the lessons taught within that change.. Follow your dream! [This message has been edited by Sunny1 (edited 10-08-2000).] |

Hi Marge... I have a feeling that you're a lady who has conquered many changes, and as such, you can accept life with a bit of humor. Maybe that's where wisdom comes in, eh? Thank you, dear friend!! Follow your dream! |

A loser quits and doesn’t even start to try.. A winner doesn’t wait, but jumps right in.. As I see it, nothing is better than trying, and even if things don't turn out how you want them, would you rather be left wondering?

Well now....aren't you just the shining star of wisdom and strength in this one. This my friend is beautiful and with an attitude like this then you will have nothing to worry about as you walk in this unforgiving world. Such power and conviction in your words. Cheering you and bowing to your heart. |

Sunny this is a really good poem, loads of messages, and every single onw of them positive. Yes I really like this a lot. It reminds me a little of that saying 'Many a failure turns about When he might have won had he stuck it out' but your poems much better. Take care Marsha |

Sunny this is far to good to disappear, or languish at the back. Give everyone a chance to read this and enjoy it I say. As for giving you praise it's only what you deserve, and buckets of it too. (of course I count you as a friend, that's assuming that an angel like you can be friends with a devil like me.) take care Marsha |

~~~ Marsha ~~~ You are such a dear!! I appreciate the boost, and the friendship that you give me. It feels so good, and warms my heart on a chilly pre-Winter day!!! Thank you!! ~~~ Paula ~~~ We are twins in spirit, and seem to go through the same things at the same time, even though distance stands between. If I have helped you, my sister, I am very glad!! Follow your dream! |

When things are going great it seems that change rushes in. But misery is stagnant - That should be a sin! I like your poem. |
