December 28, 2009 - Experience




Experience

There comes a time
When one must determine
Of what they cannot be a part
A list of needs to be prepared
And branded deep into their heart

A lifetime of experience
Enables one this to decide
The joy and pain of choices made
Can be used as quite a guide

As I compose this list of needs
And fire up my branding iron
I return to my past misdeeds
And by what my triumphs were inspired

I pray with all that is in my soul
That I place wisdom in this brand
And it stays forever burned
Into my heart
As I face each day unplanned

-Neva Flores 2009
