What I Have Learned
What I Have Learned
I have already lived long enough in this world.
I had good times and bad ones too. I learned
that everything comes to an end. I learned that
you have to go through bad times to be able to
appreciate the good.
I loved once with all my heart, but my love was
not valued at all and for that I could not love
again, because the one I loved just broke my
heart. But GOD gave me a family and a chance
to see them grow up.
I can't give them riches all I can give them is
love and sometimes, some good advice. When
you don't have nothing to give, all you can give
is your love.
I had the good fortune to have a good husband.
He was not rich and did not give me luxuries. He
gave me support and gave his love. He also gave
me a place where I could belong.
I have learned that life is like the four Seasons.
In Spring, everything blooms, than comes Summer
and everything is colorful and beautiful. Than comes
Autumn and the colors change again. This time they
are orange, red, brown, yellow and green and the
Indian Summer sets in.
Very soon the leaves on the trees start to fall. The
trees become naked and they lose their beauty.
Everything is dry. Than comes Winter and everything
dies. They have lived their life for one full year. That's
what I learned, that if we are born - we have to die.
Between the time that we are born and the time that
we die, we will live a life and whatever we do in that
life, is what will reflect on us later and also in our family.
I learned that nothing is free in this world.
Everything has a price. If we do wrong - we will pay later.
Even up to the very end, there will be a price to be paid.
This is what I have learned...
Life is good if we live it right.
