It has been said that life is the most patient teacher. You will be presented with the same experience over and over until you learn the best way to deal with the situation.

When you are presented with a painful experience, take the time to think about how you can avoid it in the future. This is an example of a lesson learned.

I've lived quite a while and learned quite a bit
About life and this world where we live.

That is the truth I've found.
I really like this well thought out poem. So true. It takes time to get to know a person. Many people are in and out of our lives or we just get to know someone at the surface level and it is...

I see you looking at your children,
Wondering what their lives will be.
If you verify some answers
Then their future you might see.
I loved this poem. The list of things that should be given to our children to have an amazing journey through this life, it's all here! This poem contains so much wisdom! Beautifully written....
For every time I've failed,
For every time I've screwed up,
For every time I've said "I'm Sorry,"
And for every time I've not.
I love this poem! It speaks about how to get through the difficulties of facing failure. I really like it!
Get annoyed with someone
And explode in fury
But later after calming down
You'd look back
One night I saw a snowflake fall.
Past memories it did recall.
And as the snow fell to the ground,
Superb, poetry as its best.
We should count our blessings one by one,
Every night and day, lest they be gone.
Friends and family, hold onto them tight,
For they may disappear in a...
