The Gift Of Experience Poem by Daya Nandan

Experience is a guiding light in so many ways,
Be it experiences from years, months or even days,
Experience in break ups will help dull the pain,
So you can move on from depression and try again,

Experience in victory will boost your courage,
New trials to be embraced your confidence will encourage,
You won't fear pain for you will be focused on your goals,
That is how experience will often strengthen souls,

Experiencing failure prepares you to try again,
Because you will have new ways to survive the heavy rain,
New strategies start to form in life's game of chess,
And often each failure will bring you closer to success,

Experience turns all of the mistakes that you make,
Into new stepping stones that you can take,
Experience is the best teacher, that is the truth,
It will guide you through life for the price of youth,
