'The People That I'Ve Met' Poem by Linda Winchell

I've met so many people in life
not really ever kept in touch.
Some very nice, indeed towards me
and some, I just seemed to have had enough!

I been married more than my fair share
bad choices in the men I've picked.
But in every relationship I was in
They all taught me some valuable, lifes lessons tricks.

They taught me what to look for
they taught me in my life how to copes.
With all the jerks I've met in life
their now just my past lifes, prickly pokes.

They taught me how to stand up for myself
not take what others want to dish out to me.
They opened up my eyes for once
so that others garbage I can now clearly see.

So that when bags of sin-fillied garbage comes along
I will know it when I see it!
And not stand there to accept what's handed me!
but stand stronger in my faith in God, and defeat it!

So I guess I never needed to
contact any of those people that I've met.
With God I've learned, to live and follow Him
and not live in lifes sins memory, of past regrets.
