| Lessons of Life |
Always there is a past to face
loss of so much – yes even disgrace,
hauntings of old and lessons learned
some never heal and so the heart burns
Live not in the past years of pain
look to your future without disdain,
there may not be a perfect view
but living the past is not good for you
Cherish what you have this moment in time
smile toward the future and the song of life,
suffer not over what might have been
discover new beginnings and go onward then
Life is too short to consume you with hate
disgust serves no being and leaves a bad taste,
on all around you and your loved ones so near
raise up your hands and greet all with cheer
No matter the directions you may turn
always to see someone needs are spurned,
reach out to them and lift them up with you
it heals the soul of not one – but two
Look into clear waters of a quiet pool
see the reflections of no one’s fool,
smile to the one you must guide this day
raise your head up and go on your way
Living is more than a pleasant stroll
rewards are acquired from your works and toil,
offered by one who has suffered as you
gains are the beauty of the love in you
