TWO THINGS TO KNOW

I am grateful that I learned long ago
two pieces of wisdom I hope, someday, 
everyone will know.

Piece of wisdom number 1 
to know before our life comes to an end:
Is…when our life is filled with joy and happiness
It’s best to share these times with our family and friends.

The second piece of wisdom to learn before our life is done:
When our life is filled with grief and sorrow
See piece of wisdom number 1
