What's Your Level
To Succeed You Will Experience Failure
A very free form poem about trying to hit your target and find your level of success.
This is also an excuse for me to share the wonderful “What’s Your Level?” by Thousand Yard Stare.
Listen and Read
I command You

I
Wanted
To
Write
A
One
Word
Poem

But too many Words Came Out
+
I Failed In My Goal
I Failed In My Target
I Failed
I Just Failed
+
Or Maybe I didn’t
+
What is Failure
+
It Is A Word
+
It describes a situation
Where the Path Was Wong
The Way Was Wrong
+
Failure Showed Me
I need to try another way
+
And That Way May Fail As Well
+
They who never try may never fail
But they will never succeed
+
The road to success is paved with failures
They built the road that made you succeed

Thank you!💕 The hubby is always asking his girls if they checked their oil lately. That's what your level reminded me of!😉😂
Loved the music to go with the read - see I listened, lol! Also loved how the beginning naturally led to those end lines, which were just what I needed to hear. Thanks!
This is fab Mike. Great sentiments. ❤️
