Lessons About Life
The Bible taught me all things written between the covers of this book were true
It said that there was a time to laugh and a time to cry
It said there was a time to be born and a time to die
Any question regarding life, search here and I would find the reason
For all things important to life there would be a season
Mom and Dad taught all the words found written above were true
They taught me about sacrifice and honor, they said there more to life than just you
When the time came to decide right from wrong, I must learn the right thing to do
Soon I found a little kindness and charity would go a long way
The things I decided, what I did and what I said, would matter some day
Life taught me all the words found written above were true
What no one told me was that life would be hard, a struggle all the way through
Not all fun or play, I would often be left wondering what I should do
All through life, never in words did any one share
How difficult and meaningless would be the burdens I might bare
You my love taught me all the words written above were true
Life could be meaningless unless I found a purpose as I made our way through
You gave me hope teaching me the meaning of life from a different point of view
You taught me when all is said and done, only one thing matters at the end of the day
You showed me that nothing is more important in life but to love, there is no greater way
