Life's Lessons Life's Hacks

Life's Lesson Life's Hacks


Learning to see with your heart, 
for once, 
and see the things the eyes cannot? 

Learning to listen with your heart, 
as well,
you'll hear the things your own ears cannot tell.

Should you hear a broken-down man cry,
or a homeless woman, 
she just stole some food, and you saw it?

Let me see with my heart, 
oh Lord,
let me know to listen with my heart, too?

So, I can know to ripen with age,
spilling over with the pearls of wisdom, 
I've learned throughout my days. 

Life's lessons' are the best to learn,
sit down, relax, 
and wait till your turn.

Remember the stupidest questions, 
are the ones not asked?
So ask away, ask away, ask away, all.

I think I'm going to write some right, 
with finishing touches, this prose still, I write?

Hi, Darlene! Seeing & hearing with one's heart is indeed a different aspect of life itself. It's mindful of another person's journey, not knowing where or what they've gone through already; sharing is a very caring act of kindness. Best of Wishes, William
