I will perceive a dangling done, <br />As a preview of a coming lesson. <br /> <br />And comprehension for this session, <br />Is a prerequisite. <br />Pretentions and anything less than common sense... <br />Will not reveal the purpose, <br />As to why something appearing out of reach... <br />Attracts most and gets immediate attention. <br /> <br />I will perceive a dangling done, <br />As a preview of a coming lesson. <br /> <br />And I will learn what that lesson is, <br />Without concern of the consequences. <br /> <br />Something will be exchange to my benefit. <br />Whether I limp in pain or walk away entertained... <br />I am going to gain an experience. <br />And a life lived can not be done without them! <br /> <br />You know... <br />Those experiences, <br />We more often get as we grow... <br />To eventually sit us down acknowledging, <br />Just how blessed we are! <br />And in appreciation of what has been accomplished, <br />As some reminisce bewildered by the process of progress.<br /><br />Lawrence S.
