Education is everywhere. We need to make the best use it.

Our Education's Who We Are By Franklin Price 8/2/2016 Our education's who we are And in what we do believe How we deal with our emotions How we give and we receive Education shows the way From the first breath to the last Look to learning from the future While remembering the past When you're meeting someone new Choose carefully your words Education may not be the same May think your thoughts are for the birds When in doubt just listen Words work when moving either way There are many lessons to be learned When we hear what others have to say None of us knows everything Please consider this next thought Sometimes we are the teacher At other times we are the taught The trick is in determining Which we are and when To use our mouths or use our ears When to stop or to begin When we no longer listen Think ours is the only voice It's time to be a hermit So others may rejoice

You did an outstanding job from first to last word. I loved the crisp flow, the wisdom and the clarity in which you wrapped up and delivered such a TRUE and important message. We never know when we may be teaching someone who is observing us, just as others may not be aware we have picked something up from them, pray it be good. I love your poem. A FAV and 7 - great!, impressive writing ... CayCay
