Life's Lessons

Word's when spoken 
And heart's when broken
Are the hardest thing to repair

Be gentle with your words
And always handle with care

I fall I rise picking my words
Warm and wise

I'm living and learning with
Each chapter I've been turning 

I've been hurt but I'm alive
Taking each painful experience 
in stride

I've learned
You must hurt in order to know
You must fall in order to grow
Lose in order to gain cuz life's greatest 
lessons Are learned through pain
