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.
