Humpty Dumpty Poem by Curtis Johnson

Humpty Dumpty
By Curtis Johnson

We all get knocked about or slip and fall down; but we don’t have to sit around and mope.
All of us were born for a purpose; so let’s get busy finding it, because life is not a joke.
We are neither the first nor last to make mistakes; none are perfect; not even the pope.

Sometimes, we are blown by the wind and lose our sails; but never let go of hope.
We can go anywhere we want to, and there’s still plenty of time to get on the boat.
Stay connected to the ones you love; work and study hard, learn all you can; take notes.

Get quality and timely rest; do your best to stress less; and by all means, stay away from dope.
Neither God nor any human said life would be easy; but there are good and decent ways to cope.
Let’s not spin our wheels, whining about the milk that spilled, and complaining about other folks.

You may be out of cash and have neither property nor equity; but that does not mean you are broke.
You may have fallen to the bottom of a pit, but there ‘s someone at the top, extending to you a rope.
No, we need not experience Humpty Dumpty’s great fall, nor collapse like the walls of Jericho.
