Yous From the Mes

You can't have a storm without the rain, You won't experience love without the pain. You'll never run if you weren't taught to walk, You will never listen if you don't learn how to talk. Through the eyes of yourself life's lessons you'll learn, If you soak up the knowledge you'll know which way to turn. If you take a wrong turn you can choose to turn back, If you keep on going your responsible for the slack. The instruction book for life is written by you, When you take direction and do what you do. Noone can tell you how to travel your road, But you can learn from their wisdoms to lighten the load. your mistakes will be published in the troubleshooting page, You can refer back to them for the rest of your days. If you choose to ignore them and pretend they're not written, Then expect to go backwards once again and be bitten. If your smart you will learn from another ones sorrows, Not mimicking their moves will benefit your tomorrows. Take a leaf from their book but dont take the whole tree, Because the branches separate the you's from the me's. Carly Chambers :D

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
