Do not seek or chose to find,
correction in another’s mind;

When at the heart of all, we know;
enlightenment comes from what we sow.

To criticize or correct ourselves is for the best
since others seldom can surmise the simplest jest.

In deference to said life so roughly hewn
‘tis the...

Lessons Learned Too Soon
I sat at your table
I’m sure, I was 5. 
The first time I learned 
About being alive. 

Helicopter landed in 
The field, Right out back.  
No time to finish eating, 
Rushed out, forced to pack. 

Stayed with a neighbor 
I barely knew 
And then...

These are the things that I miss the most
The little things that I never noticed
Wish I could go back just one time 
Feel the heartbeat
Of innocence which in a sense is so sublime
It's much easier to just stay cold
You can't find your way back to...

Lessons Learned
My grandson asked if back when I was young
I had ever done anything naughty or wrong
I said shut the door put on listening ears
And Ill tell you a tale of rank shivering fear
One night at midnight I sneaked from my bed
To a neigr knocker fastened...

Lessons Learned
Lessons learned are life's gain

Without them life would be mundane

 

Each day brings a gift with it

To unwrap it you have to endure pain

 

Come what may,you have to brave it

Otherwise,all the gain goes down the drain

 

Take those lessons seriously ,my dear

Lest,you live your...

Lessons Learned Hard
by Robert (Bob) Moore

We used to call this weather “brisk”
but now its “bloody cold”
funny how your outlook changes
as your growing old

The cold gets into these old bones
and makes them ache and pain
what I’d give if I could be
back in my youth again

Cold weather...

Lessons Learned In Life - For Contest
"You don't learn anything about life in school"

It
is not
your schooling
which is the key
to education,
or the ability
to commit to memory
ten thousand trivialities
through ten years of indoctrination
which will prepare you for the road ahead;
it is in the appreciation
that such knowledge becomes wisdom
when at last you recognise
that life...

As a child from Germany I learned to live in a foreign country,
Canada became my home with my parents and relatives.

As a child  from Germany I learned to speak a foreign language English,
All the while learning to speak German at home.

As a child ...

Grief took me by the hand
Lead where I didn't want to go
Straight into the valley of tears
That began to constantly flow

Now that grief had acquainted me
With sorrow in the vale of tears
It seemed at eternal spring of weeping
Was where I would constantly live

Then grief brought...

Lessons Learned



Forgive but never forget, 
Don't sweat the small stuff.
What goes around comes around,
Always think of the big picture.
Lessons Learned

Don't throw stones at glass houses,
The grass isn't always greener.
Appearances are not always what they seem,
A pretty smile is not a welcoming heart.
Lessons Learned

Appreciate the moment,
Love...

Life's Lessons Learned
What lessons have I learned from living

both from taking and from giving?

I’m old enough there must be some

and perhaps a memory will come

about some corner that I turned

and found a truth for which I’d yearned. 

But had not earned.

I wasn’t one who learned in school

Let's revisit, reimagine and re-construct the man who will write this poem. Begin from the start, the dark past, the battles that were fought on my own. Though only recently and from this moment on I will recognize the lessons I learned. No longer do...
