Lessons Learned

Many lessons we have learned, Were given and never earned. When we use what has been given, all our triumphs and our fails Are not ours alone We have built upon the works of all those who have gone before. If you think your lessons have not been heard, Fall on deaf ears Are just another bunch of words. It’s the failings of youth that your not understood. Falling prey to the traps of beauty and boundless energy. Many years later on, A clock will chime And all those words Will turn into rhymes Holding now, great appeal. Even after you are dead and gone, a part of you will still belong In the hearts and minds of those you chose to impart your wisdom upon. And those you chose to spend the breath of your life, your years, your time. Taking heed NOW All the love you shared through your blood sweat and tears. All the hills that we climbed Seemed like mountains at the time. All the oceans we have sailed, All those lessons we have shared, Finally came home to roost A WHISP Turns into a SPARK Turning DARKNESS into TRUTH.
