Learn To Live Without Poem by Joseph Cimanuka

You should learn to live without the ones you love;
It will help you stand when they are gone.
Learn to live without your partner while she's there;
It will teach you to stand firm when she's gone.

Learn to live without your parents while they're near;
You won't starve when they're no longer here.
Learn to walk without relying on your feet,
So you can face life's trials when they fail beneath you.

Learn to live without your wealth while it's still there;
You may lose it one day, so prepare.
Learning to live with less when you have enough
Will help you resist stealing when life gets tough.

What you love will not remain with you forever;
Nothing in this world stays yours forever.
So cherish what you have while it is near,
But learn to stand alone when it disappears.
