Seven Lessons the World Taught Me
1. Silence Speaks –
The loudest truths hide between words,
in pauses, in breaths held too long.
2. Kindness Echoes –
A small act ripples outward,
touching lives we may never see.
3. Pain is a Teacher –
It carves wisdom into bones,
leaving scars that whisper, grow.
4. Time Waits for No One –
It slips through fingers like sand,
yet lingers in the eyes of the old.
5. Love is Both a Gift and a Test –
It blooms in the cracks of ruin,
but asks for courage to hold on.
6. Borders Are Imaginary –
The sky does not recognize flags,
nor do rivers stop at drawn lines.
7. Hope is a Choice –
Even in darkness,
we can turn our faces toward the light.
