Life's Lessons Learned

by JLR

Life's Lessons Learned The licking of gentle waves caresses the shoreline illuminated by the moonbeams dancing atop the body of water held in Homestead Lake. Pa's rugged hand rests gently on my back as he watches intently at my fishing line, stirring in the ebb and flow of the whisper of wind that creates a slight cooling of the evening air. Pa gave many a life lessons between the shrilling of nightingales echoing in the nearby trees, and the croak and ribbits of frogs hidden among the tall reeds, just offshore ...  Always say, "Please and Thank you" ....  Never tell tales out of school... A bad workman blames his tools ... The bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ... A friend in need is a friend indeed ... Lessons that Pa's Pa passed down when he also clutched the same pole in his hands under that full moon, many moons ago.
