Staying in the Game

© 2018 Steve Cook

I used to walk in terror

Of making a mistake

And fear of it kept me

With one foot out of the game.

But the possibility of error

Keeps the game alive

And one can always

Get it right next time.

The biggest mistake

We can ever make is not to play

And thereby ensure

There will be no next time.

And without a next time,

We become defined

By our losses instead of our wins.

Stay in the game.
