Life's Lessons

Lessons of love that hurts to know.
"If you love someone you'll let them go."
Let them go so they can follow their dreams,
Let them go before your love rips from the seams.

Lessons of dreams that may never come true.
"There are millions of dreams, but only one meant for you."
Some dreams fail because a different one was meant to prevail.

Lessons of death.
"The good die young."
We may not understand it and continue to question it, but it happens.
We all have a purpose on this earth.
Some people's purpose is ended before others.

Lessons of broken promises.
"The only thing we are promised is death."
One day everything must die.
Every life has an end.
That doesn't mean you give up your right to try.

Lessons of deceit.
Not everyone's intentions are good.
We can't trust everyone even though we wish we could.
Always trust your self and you'll be okay;
to always find a path that lights the way.

Lessons of failure.
"It's alright to fall, as long as you remember to pick yourself up."
It takes no strength to fall or give up."

Life has many lessons to teach, 
from life we have many lessons to learn.
Some are hard, some just difficult;
and others so harsh.

Lessons that exist for a reason.
That reason is to learn the lessons of life.
