Things I Have Learned

I have learned;
 that crap does occur.
   I have learned;
 that there is a his and a hers.

   I have learned;
 that sometimes love is not enough,
   I have learned;
 that they're really is a diamond in the rough.

   I have learned;
 that the outside does not pertain to the inside,
 I have learned;
 that it is easier to take it all in stride.

   I have learned;
 I'm healthier if I manage my stress,
   I have learned;
 that every day is a work in progress.

   I have learned that;
 I stick out like a sore thumb,
   I have learned;
 that I march to the beat of a different drum.

   I have learned that;
 my greatest strength was my biggest flaw,
   I have learned;
 that sometimes it is the luck of the draw.

   I have learned;
 that some lessons you do over and over,
   I have learned;
 that there really is a four-leaf clover.

   I have learned;
 that sometimes time does make it better,
   I have learned;
 that I can be a go getter.

   I have learned;
 that good intentions can be misunderstood,
   I have learned;
 that there is nothing stronger than motherhood.

   I have learned;
 that you cannot avoid pain and sorrow,
   I have learned;
 that not everyone has a tomorrow.

   I have learned;
 that if I starve the bad it numbs the good,
   I have learned;
 that Pinocchio was made of wood.

   I have learned;
 that the truth does exist,
   I have learned;
 it is easier if I don't resist.

   I have learned;
 you just have to let go of some s___T ,
   I have learned;
 it is better to be legit.

   I have learned;
 doing the right thing is worth it in the end,
   I have learned;
 that a dog really is man's best friend….

L Milton Hankins Date: 12/28/2021 2:21:00 PM Debbie, I certainly agree with most of the things you have learned. Some of them had more meaning for me that others, but I have definitely learned and try to live by this one: "I have learned doing the right hing is worth it in the end...." Definitely! Login to Reply
