From the school of Hard Knocks, Life's University; A student of progressive learning, a grad to never be. For this course of study, there is not an end, Until my time is up with hope to Heaven, I'll ascend. With a multitude of lessons of varying degrees; Some very complicated, some through, I can breeze. Then there are those that I must keep repeating Until the lesson's learned. Life forbids cheating. The most valuable lessons though, if them, I'm to land, Come mainly through and by experience, only first hand. These lessons can be the toughest when I'm badly burned, But once made through, these lessons never are unlearned. Always a 'work in progress' with a goal that is set To build on, improve myself, and lest I should forget, Life will remind me, use my conscience purposely to gain My attention unpleasantly until back on track again. With the University Of Life, there's attendance every day, Since Life takes no vacations and grants no vacation pay. Classes are in session always, seven days a week. Tardiness is frowned upon for anyone who will seek. As with any learning, Life works best with a willing student, If one is to evolve, gain wisdom, be humble along with prudent. The levels we achieve in Life in our character, reflects, Based on what we've earned not what our ego's pride projects. There are no report cards for there is no need, Since Life rewards in accordance with, per every deed. All progressive students learn at different rates, Learn different lessons in accordance with their fates. Since every student has a uniquely different course, With lessons in different order from a different source, Each student in their learning is where they need to be, Learning lessons some have learned; others yet to see. A progressive student learns Life brings surprises, Some good, some bad, and some hidden in disguises And Life is ever changing to keep us on our toes, Encountering the flower OR the thorns of the rose. In the learning process, Life teaches what to value most; What to cultivate within us; what type of pride to host. For an eager student who desires to achieve integrity, Life has special challenges to be met but not easily. Life's lessons may be hard, some horrible to bear, But all in all we come through better for the wear. For each lesson that we learn, more strength we achieve, More courage we obtain, we can rely on and believe. Somewhere along the way we learn about perspective And which priorities should be in our main objective. Priorities in Life are essential if we are to spare Ourselves from the grief of regret, burdensome to bear. But Life is not all work with never any play. In between and during lessons, Life finds a way To bring us joy and happiness, in abundance we can reap, With peace in our hearts we can hold onto and keep. With Life's lessons that we learn and if we learn them well, All the precious gifts of, number more than I can ever tell. But all that's good and beautiful can't be truly appreciated, Without some bad and ugly for comparison, well illustrated. Although there are no diplomas, there is great reward, When for my character, integrity I've earned and scored, Gaining self worth, esteem, confidence, and discipline, All combined with humility, is most definitely a win. So, yes, I am a student of the University Of Life, The school of Hard Knocks with lots of stress and strife. But I would not trade this for all of China's tea, Because all the lessons learned have made a wiser, better me! And yes, I am still enrolled for work on me's not done. I'll be a 'work in progress' until my last setting sun. In progressive learning I've yet to learn many lessons still And if I'm a humble, willing student, somehow I know I will.

University of Life

From the school of Hard Knocks, Life's University; A student of progressive learning, a grad to never be.
