Life's Lesson Poem by Phil Soar

I turned to you for comfort on the journey that is mine
Through all that life's thrown at me, and challenged my sheltered mind
Expecting nothing in return, you taught me how to cope
Lectured me, but made the journey, full of faith and hope

Your soft and mellowed voice, has made an impact on my trials
It spoke to me in many ways, when I was just a child
And even in my older years, it echoes through it all
And sets my mind at rest, when it would be easy to fall

You kept your life tuition, to the simple things that you
Could see that might envelop me, and be so hard to do
And deep inside my questionable mind, your words were good to hear
Keeping me aware of what was right or wrong to fear

Establishing my lessons, when the world around was tense
Made learning easy to achieve, it all made so much sense
So thanks for all you taught me, and all you helped complete
You balanced your life tuition, and stood me on my feet
