The Years Behind

What I've learned so far

The years behind have shared the secret

of getting up

after a fall

 

They’ve gifted love and laughter,

found the humor

in it all

 

The years have brought my share of loss

and figured

friend from foe

 

And taught the delicate balance

of holding on

and letting go

Wow, you're smarter than the average bear, can you teach me how to do that?! Great write with a wonderful message in there but I'll be damned if I can figure out how to....

[Rita L. Sev]

Learned it the hard way, Frieda, and after a lot of years of holding on to certain things, people and feelings for too long. Thanks for the read and insight!

Apparently I haven't learned my lesson yet, that's why I'm always President of the I Never Learn Club...!

We do learn from our mistakes, or at least should... but life is a never ending lesson.

A delightfully profound read.

[Rita L. Sev]

Yes, it is! Thanks, Dale!

wow, this is great...there is such a delicate balance---over all the years i have been around, i have often found this true...we live, we love, we learn...and sometimes we learn the lessons well and sometimes we don't learn them well or we forget them and need to be reminded.

[Rita L. Sev]

Absolutely! The most important lessons, I have found, are really so simple - but we complicate them. That's when we need the reminders... Thank you, Jacob!

Beautiful words with so much to learn within them. Learning to hold onto things and when to let them go is a tricky thing to master. A lot of people, myself included, are still grasping at the concept.

Thank you for sharing.

[Rita L. Sev]

I think it's a lifelong lesson, but I am certainly better at it now than I was in my youth. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

[Kristin Lee]

Such true words, beautiful spoken.

[Rita L. Sev]
