Life Isn't IF But HOW

Written for: Albert's Poetry Cafe ~ Poet Craft: Form ~ With Salvatore Buttaci ~ "GHAZAL" September 1, 2008 - September 15, 2008

 

Life Isn't IF But HOW   Although attempts may end a futile plan, My greatest strength is thinking how I can. No mountain looms too high or valley, low To stop my mind from thinking. How I can Consider dreams beyond my vision’s range Extends my wishing. Thinking how I can, Each effort sparks refreshing, newfound zeal As gain comes just in thinking how. I can, In ev'ry step I take, make moves ahead; Success resides in thinking how I can. With laughter, tears, and jolts along life's path, I'm simply Sharon thinking how I can. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ POETRY FORM: The Ghazal (pronounced : 'guzzle')  By Sharon Miller Bolander   © 2008 Peggy Paris (All rights reserved)

Sharon...is there nothing you can't do? Near as I can see, you have mastered every form you ever attempted. But I suppose it should go without saying..."in any endeavor, if you give up before you try, you're already done. "This is a wonderful visual, optimistic beauty.
