I am sure this poem has been posted somewhere, but seeing that so many of the threads seem to be about falling down, I thought I'd post a little something to help us get back up! It's a classic poem for changing life and bad habits.

I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost ... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit.
my eyes are open
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.

Let's all take that new street full of new, happy possibilities!

I have never read that poem before, but I really enjoyed reading it.
It speaks about perseverance, which I feel is so important to any endeavor.
