Life Lessons
Reflecting on my life
A lifetime of lessons learnt along the way
Some harder than others
Still learning to this day
I have learnt the importance of kindness
The power it truly holds
Just a small act of kindness
Positive changes will enfold
I have learnt the importance of loved ones
The true meaning of loving unconditionally
To cherish the ones who surround me
Enjoying time together making special memories
I have learnt the importance of using my voice
To share my positive thoughts
Never keeping the positives silent
Life is here then gone and “Yes …..way too short”
I have learnt the importance of not “stressing the small stuff”
As its significance in the big picture is nil
Only concerning myself with matters that warrant worry
As worry and stress can make you ill…..or worse kill !
I have learnt the importance of humility
Honesty, integrity, respect, worth
Applying them as best l can
While l walk this precious earth
I have learnt the importance of differences
Of acceptance and equality
Try to not to judge or criticise
To the best of my ability
I have learnt the importance of gratitude
To appreciate life and all it beholds
To savour precious moments and times
Life goes by so fast and before you know it you are old!
I have learnt what is most important “to me”
What “ I” value most on earth
For me “It is loving others and being loved”
Being happy and appreciating life’s worth
Life is definitely an ongoing work in progress
Life lessons are not always easy to maintain
We often face hurdles and hardships
Where we use learnt lessons and begin to learn new ones again!
