I tell you this: "If only I would risk"

By Adam

To you that can love
To you that can loose

To you that can win
To you that can fail

To you willing to accept
To you willing to give

To you when you're blessed
To you when you're down

To you that has fun
To you that knows pain

I tell you this:

For life without risk.
Is life without happiness.

    I would have to agree with the poem all around, speaking from personal experience. Great words to keep in mind for the following year.

    ...the oddest part of it all... is I was writing mine (most recent) at the same time, and it seems you countered in advance. Touche.
