Lessons of Life

They're all here lessons in living to learn through the years; some of us are born ready eager to take in the revelations others lay half asleep seeking direction; some are just biding time moving with the flow hitching along on the ride; some seek the light of the sun basking in the beauty of the day others huddle in the dark wasting life away; looking back on seventy-plus years I cry. I laugh, I lived, I learned I'm happy with all the laughter and the tears no regrets, a little pain, some heartache too but I'd learn willingly every lesson over again as long as I could do it with my family and my friends.
