At my mother's knee I learned right from wrong,
I learned life sent trials, just to make us strong
In some endeavors I learned I may fail,
But I must keep trying, though rough storms assail;
I learned that at times clouds will hide the sun,
When despair surges, it must be outrun;
I learned that kind words when softly spoken
To distraught hearts were a healing token;
I learned sad folks smile when you caress them,
And when all else fails, ask God to bless them;
I learned to forge on, though weary and tired,
For life's a game where much skill is required;
Walking rocky paths, I learned I might fall,
But I must go on, though I'm forced to crawl;
I learned how to fend when push comes to shove,
But having to learn to live without love..........
Now that was the hardest lesson of all!
Life situations teach us many lessons. As usual a well written poem
