Life's Lessons
Life’s Lessons
By Spidey Williams
Question: How Many Do You Agree With?
I was sitting in an old TRUCK,
thinking back on the days when I was a young BUCK.
Now how I’m still young looking for BUCKS.
I see how many things still have not CHANGE,
because the most important life’s lessons, I have kept the SAME.
As I drifted away now down memory LANE:
1. What you hold dear always keep it NEAR.
2. What you keep near never FEAR.
3. What you dislike always FIGHT.
4. What you decide to let go keep it GONE.
5. Because once it’s gone it’s no point of holding ON.
6. What you don’t know will still HURT.
7. And what doesn’t kill you only makes you STRONGER!
These were some of the first thoughts I ever THOUGHT
As I begin to remember some of the life’s lessons I was TAUGHT.
As I thought about conversations I would’ve had with Jesus on the CROSS.
Thinking about how much love it took to stay up there to save a world that was
LOST.
As I drifted back down memory LANE
1. Never die for something you don’t even believe IN.
2. Never stand for what you will never fall FOR.
3. Never fall for anything TWICE.
4. Never swing at what you cannot even SEE.
5. Never loose faith because you start to convince yourself, it’ll never BE.
6. Watch your enemies and watch yours friends even CLOSER.
7. And always remember there’s nobody like FAMILY!
Man I’ve learned many things in my twenty-two YEARS.
I decided a while back to be better than the BEST.
I separated myself so I could be unlike the REST.
And unlike the REST,
I was self motivated and determined,
people would read my words of life and CHANGE!
As I drifted back down memory LANE
1. The past is the past my present is now and my future will COME.
2. I will make changes now to better my FUTURE.
3. So when my future comes my present will be a direct reflection of my PAST.
4. What you can change, CHANGE.
I’ve learned many things but the most important two things I’ll always SAY
5. Knock and the door shall be open, seek and you shall FIND!
