Lessons Learned

WHY is it that so many lessons
can only be learned the HARD WAY?
Stumbling and FALLING, I pick myself up
and RESOLVE not to make that mistake again.

But it isn't long until I FIND myself down,
looking up and WONDERING what happened?
How could I have made the SAME mistake
twice or more? STILL LEARNING is the answer.

Life is a CONTINUOUS school
and sometimes the lessons aren't EASY.
They are REPEATED until we thoroughly
understand what NOT to do next time.

PS To avoid criticism , do nothing, say nothing, be nothing.
