LESSONS LEARNED IN LIFE.

 I learned as a child,

As soon as I could walk:                 

Found on Pinterest on 4-3-16.

How to dress myself;

How to learn to talk;

And drink from a cup.

I learned fast:

Not to trust people;

Always watch your back;

Sleep alone at night,

With both your eyes open;

Keep your secrets close

To your protected  chest;

And most people take, 

The fruits of your success.

I saw that people:

Will hurt you with words,

Or with a bloody fist;

They think love’s  absurd,

And crying is a mess;

They always  insist,

On the meaning of respect,

And are eager to confess.

I saw as an adult:

Good people call

Other people names;
