Reach for the Stars

[Pauline]

Many there are, who have reached for the stars

in pursuing their ultimate dream.

Then faltered and fell, unable to rise,

when the challenge proved more than it seemed.



You can not be strong and certain in life

if you don’t slip and fall now and then.

What good does it do if you stumble and fall

if you won’t rise and try once again.



The sky is the limit, to dream is okay,

and the future is as big as the sky.

How can you know what your future might bring.

if you’re not even willing to try.



The greatest of all have made some mistakes,

but the secret to winning is this.

To be willing to rise and try once again,

and next time your mark you won’t miss….

Hi Pauline
that is so true this i think says everything

"You can not be strong and certain in life

if you don’t slip and fall now and then.

What good does it do if you stumble and fall

if you won’t rise and try once again."

I think that all the knocks and falls we have had over almost the last 40 years, made us stronger to cope today

[Pauline]

Hi Heather I agree with you our slips and falls have made us strong to facethe the future what ever it may bring Pauline:):):)

I also believe we have been /are lucky to be able to slip and fall.
Then get up and start again.
I have meet people over the years, have not had that chance, and their dear ones have been taken from them so suddenly
I count our blessings each day
