POEM STARTER

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

Write a poem ending with this line.

Growing Young

It’s those early years that are so full of life and promise

Those early years where errors and failures mean growth

We fall

We get up again

We fall

We get up

We fall

There’s someone there to catch or encourage us


We grow older

We grow more rigid… in mind and body

The fear of failing beckons and overtakes us

We fall

There’s no one there

We fall

We stay down

We fall

We learn to stay down


I don’t want to stay down

I want to rise up again

I want to live, breathe, laugh and…

Fall over… for the simple joy of getting up and trying again.


In the end, at the very end… we only regret the chances we didn’t take.
