Lessons Learned
As the lookout crow caws a warning
And raindrops drip from trees
Gray clouds the sky's only adorning
Life for some a summer's breeze
Life for others like the backside
of a dead Christmas tree
Where no decorations linger
And dry needled don't see
The future could be bleak or a
pleasure, successful or failure
What is learned in youth without measure
Can be the person's tailor
Preparing them for life's purpose
Of which each person has one
Can we as seniors give reason
To at least one youth life's run
Thoughts out on the porch
