Life lessons

by Erica Jovie©   Dec 26, 2006


As I've grown I've learned several things

Life is full of dissapointments
and People you trusted will sooner or later let you down

I've learned that often those you love will love someone else
and there is only one way to fall...fast and hard

I've learned that out of the thousands of smiles you see, it only takes one to touch your heart

I've found that words can be decieving
but the truth always lies in a person's eyes

I've learned that your heart doesn't take directions to well
and often disagree's with all else

I've learned that everything can change in the blink of an eye
and tears often come without and invitation

I've discovered laughter is contageous
and is the only perscription for a broken heart

I've learned crying can make us stronger
and there is never to much love to go around

I've learned that predejuce helps no one
and that weapons don't hurt people...people hurt people

I've learned sticks and stones may leave cuts and bruises
but harsh words leave scars

I've found that everytime you give someone a piece of your heart-
it's a piece that you will never get back

I've learned that miracles happen everyday
and that angels walk among us

I've learned the past is ment to be put behind us
and that we are not to dwell on regrets, for what's done is done

I've learned there is no such thing as tomorrow
and the "rest of you life" starts today

I've learned that trusting yourself is the first step
and that forgiving is remembering that helps your own heart more then theirs

I've learned that loving is living
and that is something that no one can ever take from you

I've found that family isn't always blood
and everyone is someones hero

I've learned kisses can fix just about anything
and caring arms are warmer then any blanket

I've learned life is unexpected
and that God can do anything

I've learned some things aren't meant to be understood
and that only time heals

I've found that imagination is our greatest gift
and that we are meant to dream for a reason

I've learned it is never to late to fall in love
and that being "beautiful" is all on the inside

I've learned God is full of grace
and a father of second chances

Mistakes are our best teachers
and everything happens for a reason

MOst importantly i've learned this

Learn from your past
Enjoy today as if it's your last
and dream of tomorrow

Only then can you live life to it's full and true potential.
