Be Prepared Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Be Prepared

Rating: 5.0


I have knocked on all life´s doors
they stayed closed, no any sign of coming wars
life felt safe and happiness was everywhere
but how can I learn from life´s experience

The proverb says experience is the best teacher
what if I have never had one outside my door
how can I learn from life and will know more?
just waiting till it comes knocking at my door?

My grandma told me when it comes, it´s too late
you must be prepared and not separate
come to them right ahead, break open their doors
splash in their puddles, till you get wet through and through

My grandma was right, I followed her advice
I got that experience, my best teacher
always ask her first then follow her wise words at once
never separate yourself, go outdoors, be prepared for the worst

The teacher has crawled into your inside
you have swallowed, observed and fought against all odds
then you are prepared, be amused and
the best in life is yet to come!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Be prepared in life before you are in those killing fields emotionally. Listen to what elder people would advise, the closest to you is the own grandmum. Thank you for reading Be Prepared, the title reminds me of a scouting club in Jakarta, BP is a Quote of Lord Baden Powell, the founder of this scouting club in the 1800 or the 1900....? Only the Be Prepared name, not the meaning of the poem. Enjoy the reading, as I have enjoyed when I created this last May recently.
