SOME LESSONS IN LIFE

Submitted by admin on Fri, 05/14/2010 - 12:43


Editor’s note: This poem by an award-winning author teaches, among others, that some important lessons in life can be learned from the simple things around us. Happy reading!

THE WORLD IS A SCHOOL OF SORT –
a place to learn a lot of things;
From dawn till dusk to another morn
life’s varied wisdom richly springs.

We only have to look around us
to enjoy as well as learn
the lessons taught by what we see
and the promise that they bring.

Like the rainbow we must learn to bend –
We must learn to bow our heads;
Should we walk with airs above the clouds,
We’ll find us soon falling instead.

Like the bamboo we must learn to be pliant
and learn to stoop to the ground;
as we go humbly on our way,
we’ll reach journey’s end safe and sound.

Like the lizard we must learn to kiss the earth
at the close of a fruitful day;
Reminding us of our divine obligations
to give thanks, to kneel down and pray.

The night, with its thousand eyes
silently twinkling in the distance,
shows, like the breaking new day,
things are willed by Him and don’t happen by chance.

Much indeed is to be learned
by all of us from birth:
We may cry during moments of sorrows
and laugh in times of mirth.

No matter how small or big things are, no matter how simple or complex they are, what matters is the lessons they can offer. It is not in the size or style of a thing but it's how we appreciate and value every little thing in life. As the students of this big school - our world, we must know that we can learn from simple things. There is beauty and lesson hat life wants to show us - enjoyment and appreciation. :)

We will gain lessons in life from the people around us that will keep us humble in all trials and circumstances that we will face in our lives. Our experiences in life will keep us stronger and it will bring us closer to God. God will never leave us as long as we have faith in God and we humbly ask for his help.
