It's a risk to attempt new beginnings
But hasn't life always been a risk?
To cry is to risk appearing foolish.
To reach out is to risk entanglement.
To go forward is to risk failure.
Yet the greatest risk, is for you to risk nothing.
For then there would be no further possibilities of
Learning and changing, or travelling upon the journey of life.

Hi Phil
Thank you for submitting this poem. Life is certainly about risk. I know that a risk that appears to have not worked out can be construed as failure.
Yet through all my risks in life, I look at the so-called failures as learning experiences. I like to think that through this learning we become stronger, we become more positive.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Well done for challenging yourself Phil. Like Emma said: "Be proud Phil - you've every reason to be!"
Stay positive and keep smiling. Warm regards Klahanie.
Hi Phil, I enjoyed the poem. You have to take risks. Sometimes you have to go out of your comfort zone. Everyday we face challenges. It is not easy living with illness. You are doing well Phil. I have seen you grow in confidence over the last few weeks.Keep it going. Good luck.
