I Have Learnt a Thing Or Two

I’m not ashamed to say
I’ve shed a tear in my day
But I know now it’s true
I’ve learnt a thing or two

That life can treat you bad
And there are days written off as sad
Sometimes you’ll sit back and wonder
Why you were ripped asunder

To ponder long at your fate 
When trouble seems only to grate
Put it down to your experience 
As a lesson had from this day hence.
