I was shy as a toddler, shy as a teen yet worked always in the public If I had followed my first feelings I would never have tried the job Working with ill people in a hospital you can never be shy Anything that is worth doing requires you to know the Whys He who never tries will never win To stumble and err is never a sin To sit back and never try stops you But try and try again you'll see what you can do Life is to short to just hide in a hole NOthing good happens to a mole Get up and do something worthwhile I guarantee it will make you smile. one original poem and graphic b y P Hatley both copyright 2016

Agree with you there. those who never try will always have "what if" at the back of their mind. It will not hurt us in trying.

Good poem. But what's up with the words with spaces in between. Does that have meaning? Curious...

Good poem. I was shy as a kid, as a teenager and I am still shy, but I like to meet people, I do not hide in a hole.

hospitals rather strip away some of the self consciousness, no time for that there

Very nice post. :) You are right the person who never tries can never win and the person who fails a lot is the one who wins at the end . :)

Very nice poem and good thought. We will never do anything if we don't try a lot of things.
