Lessons Learned Poems

Lessons Learned

The lessons learned when we were young
From fairy tales and nursery rhymes
Were meant to help us grow up strong
As up the hill we climb.

So, don’t forget the stories told
When we would lie down in our beds
As slowly, surely, we grow old
We keep them in our heads.

What captivates a child’s mind
To grown-ups might not seem profound.
Dismissing

Lessons Learned

On the edge of the leaf, spinning,
Out of control, glistening
Slowly dancing – a waltzlike trembling,
glad to see the hesitation of colors,
graceful as sun’s reflection on the waters,
lakes of melancholic, drifting
soundless and soothed by the twisting, gusts,,
stilled like a feeling, blessed by imaginations,
healed by the Southern sunrise,
a melody of laughing hearts, bruised by twilight,
feelings, flowing on

Lessons Learned

Wrong is shameful in both the old and wise,
Take it from one who's lived long enough to know.
Life is a stormy sea of wicked woe,
And tears are no less wet from older eyes.

It's not regrets, it's lessons learned

What is life?
but a journey,
a collection of
experiences,
a jar full of memories,
a crazy rollercoaster ride
of highs & lows,
why do we intend on making
living in this world harder?
by holding on to the things
we should be letting go,
reminding ourselves it's 
not regrets, it's lessons 
learned,
it's time shared,
it's laughing,
it's crying,
it's something you
can't fully understand,
or prepare for,
we just have to

Lessons Learned From the Tennessee Valley

Lessons Learned from the Tennessee Valley

Spoiled have we become!?
When you look back from whence, we have begun,
the provision of profit to our young,
that sheltered them from hard work, and supplied them with ample fun,
have we spoiled our generations to come, only to be left undone?

The Tennessee Valley in the forties, 
provided generations of poverty,
the aftermath

True Story



So, I wanted to hang a birdfeeder the bear cannot get to
I took some rope, tied a rock on the end of it, to throw over a high branch
I kept missing, realizing I lack the athletic ability I had when I was young
After many times trying, I threw it again and the rock flew

Lessons Learned From Gramps and Granny

HANGING OUT WITH GRAMPA,
I LEARNED A THING OR TWO.
GRANNY KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD
PASSED ALONG THE CLUES

CONFORMITY IS AN ISSUE.
AN ILLNESS OF THE MIND.
MANIPULATION OF THE WEAK
PUTTING SOCIETY IN A BIND.

THROUGH MEDIA DISTRIBUTION,
SCIENCE CONDUCTED TEST.
PROVING MOST WILL GO ALONG
THE REMAINDER CONSIDERED PEST.

TO THINK OUTSIDE THE CIRCLE,
THEY'RE LIVING OUTSIDE THE BOX.
BIG TECH CONSIDERS THIS A CRIME.
ENCOURAGING THEY BE

Lessons Learned

Many lessons we have learned,
Were given and never earned.
When we use what has been given,
all our triumphs and our fails
Are not ours alone
We have built upon the works of all those
who have gone before.

If you think your lessons have not been heard,
Fall on deaf ears
Are just another bunch of words.
It’s the failings of youth
that your

My Father's Hand

When I was a boy I did not understand
Just how much was carried by my Father’s hand.
But now that I’m older, I stand in his shoes
And see all the burdens a man can’t refuse.

I’d nothing but time that I wasted each day.
With no nine-to-five and with no bills to pay.
Through years and experience fin'ly I’ve

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 the next day, 
Said goodbye to you. 

And when you’re

Lessons Learned

As the lookout crow caws a warning
And raindrops drip from trees
Gray clouds the sky's only adorning
Life for some a summer's breeze

Life for others like the backside
of a dead Christmas tree
Where no decorations linger
And dry needled don't see

The future could be bleak or a
pleasure, successful or failure
What is learned in youth without measure
Can be the person's

Lessons Learned

Life is one big lesson
Be it easy, be it hard
There's no sense in guessing
You'll know soon enough when it comes along

I can tell you this from experience
With everything I've seen
The hardest lessons that you learn
Are the ones you most likely keep

Lessons Learned

As we go through life people come and go, with a lesson to teach.
But sometimes their that special someone that comes in your life, 
that opens your eyes to the whole new world. 
That makes you believe dreams can come true, 
the things that you thought was out of your reach;
is in your hands or

L-essons learned by study
A-re guidelines in life; 
D-o the things that are taught, 
Y-ou shall be far from strife.
L-essons learned by experience explain why you brave the weather; 
H-azy air remains beatable on the nineteenth of November.

V-aluable lessons learned
I-dentify the wrong from right; 
L-et not your eye turn blind, 
L-ooking at the dark of night.

Lessons Learned From Cat Sitting

Cats live in the NOW.

Cats just want you to BE.

Cats have two priorities: LOVE me and FEED me.

Cats don’t care if you’ve gained a few pounds.

Cats don’t care if you’re not wearing makeup.

Lounging will win over exercise and chores every time.

A good stretch can cure anything.

Gracefulness comes by making chilling your #1 priority.

There’s no priority
