Kelly Hitchcock Poet Rhyme

What I'Ve Learned

The seasons will come and go
Life truly never remains the same
There will be trials and tribulations
There will be immense joys and heart breaking pains

This is what I've learned
In my brief time here
I’m for sure, money doesn't buy happiness
And our biggest problem is irrational fear

We waste so much precious time
We focus on the future, and are consumed by the past
We’re preoccupied
Oblivious to the fact, that this day could be our last 

So, let me tell you what I've learned
In my journey along the way
You can lead a horse to water
But we have to know when it's time to walk away

Education is of utmost importance
It opens the world and sets us free
It keeps us humble
It allows us to reach our destiny 

In this life, there's only one thing we can change
And that change begins and ends with you
It's very rare that we’re a victim
And character, it's not something we can buy, it's what we do

So always do the right thing
Never ever tell a lie
Be content with our impermanence
Acceptance allows us to fully live and cherish life

We must learn to see obstacles as opportunities
They build incredible strength in our lives
Say Yes to all life's experiences
Because challenges build equity in you and I
 
You learn that money is the by-product
Of loving what you do
Continually seek out your passion
That's where your wildest dreams come true

I've learned to live in the moment
I listen to every single word
I  serve others
I let my actions speak so loud that they are always heard

I've learned to have self-compassion
Be vulnerable, be kind 
Stop judging myself
That's the path to a healthy mind

These are the greatest things I’ve learned
Always strive to do what’s right
This is your life’s purpose
Now give purpose and meaning back to life
