What I'Ve Learnt About Life

I use to sit and wonder 
What life was all about 
Spent my days & nights
Wandering all around
Is it about the enjoyment 
When I was playing like a child
To use my imagination 
To know It's all worthwhile 
To know I was truly loved
When my momma tucked me in
Playing with my father 
Then he huged me with a grin
Then the moment came, When life
Wasn't fun anymore
I got a taste of death
It left me crippled on the floor
Sorrow moved in 
Like a storm to the west
The death of my grandmother 
Broke my heart, that lies in my chest
Then growing older,anger & envy came about
It fueled my life for many years
Until I decided just to kick them out
Happiness is wholesome 
Sorrow is never good
Jealousy is dangerous 
Hatred Itself; is just an awful word
By no means am I the wisest, man around
But I think it's just about living
And enjoying all that life offers
Even, when the rain is coming down
