Learn

Learn
Not for the marks
Or because someone asked you to.

Learn
Because there is a Beauty
In Knowing
And a Beauty
In Sharing

Learn
To Grow
To Mature
To Understand

Learn
Because it's what you know
In this life
That determines
How you experience this life.

Learn
To guarantee a win
Even when you lose.

Learn
Because Someday
Somewhere
For Something
You'll be grateful you did.
