Mistakes, Failures and Dreams Unrealized
Mistakes, Failures and Dreams Unrealized ©

Lord knows I’ve had my share in life
Of failures, fiascos and mistakes
All just part of the journey
Like the reality of gives and takes
Thinking I’d always be a stellar success
At everything I tried
Well here’s the great big wake up call
I wasn’t!!!………..He sadly sighed
But all in all I have lived and loved
Received and given some joy
And sometimes, yes even sometimes
Was a very successful boy!
Nothing here too terribly profound
Esoteric or obscure
Just a very simple truth
Enlightening? I’m not really sure
We all have hopes, dreams and goals
In life we try to obtain
Sometimes never quite realized
The struggle sometimes in vain
But the journey that you take in life
With its intricate winding road
Also brings unexpected wins
Like a Prince born of a toad!
It’s not about the fiascos in life
Or dreams that never came true
It all about the journey
Just trying the best that you can do
About this poem
Some thoughts about the journey of life and mistakes you make along the way.
