LIFES LESSONS...
<center>*"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."* -- Confucius</center>

<center>***Lifes Lessons***</center><br>Some lessons we learn
we learn through pain
in order to grow
we must lose just the same

Testing the waters
before we jump in
is something were taught
that comes from within

Sometimes you'll be wrong
when the winds shift course
there's much in this life 
you just cannot force

All the words in the world
cannot teach you to fall
before we can soar
we must learn how to crawl

The love that awaits you
with arms opened wide
will not always last
but at least you have tried

The tears that you cry
are not there to stay
they build your resolve
while you wait for that day

Experiencing the heartache
embracing all it's worth
are the things you will find
connect you to this earth

Awakening all the joy
that resides deep inside
is a sign of resilience
like the rising of the tide

Life is not a dream
it will hurt you sometimes
but believing in yourself 
can hasten those times

Nothing last forever
forgive your transgressions
cause before you know it
you'll have learned.., *lifes lessons.*

Life will hurt you some times but how would we know the difference, joy without pain?

Every experience teaches us something if we take the time to reflect on it.

Sweet poem, my friend!

Thanks @kenny@crane... Reflection is almost a luxury these days, people are so consumed with all the distractions going on around them, they have forgotten how important it is... CHEERS!

You're most welcome! And btw, it's not a loan but a gift, I know from being in really tough situations financially that what I need is help, not debt which can quickly become a burden! Anyway, miss you in the thread.
