Lessons

For all the painful memories, thank you
For all the hurtful words, thank you
For all the horrid sights, thank you

For I have learned peace, thank you
For I have learned kindness, thank you
For I have learned beauty, thank you

	and
		good
			bye

Immediately a Favorite Linda.. Maybe I am in a mushy mood but it brought me to tears. I think its words that have been in my head but a poem I was never able to write. Exceptional in every way.. except some one saying good bye always throws a scare into me. Nothing left to say, gotta go get a tissue. Wen
