THINGS I HAVE LEARNED
I have learned that crap does occur,
I have learned that there is a his and a hers.
I have learned that sometimes love is not enough,
I have learned that their really is a diamond in the rough.
I have learned that the outside does not pertain to the inside,
I have learned that it is easier to take it all in stride.
I have learned I'm healthier if I manage my stress,
I have learned that everyday is a work in progress.
I have learned that I stick out like a sore thumb,
I have learned that I march to the beat of a different drum.
I have learned that my greatest strength was my biggest flaw,
I have learned that sometimes it is the luck of the draw.
I have learned that some lessons you do over and over,
I have learned that there really is a four leaf clover.
I have learned that sometimes, time does make it better,
I have learned I can be a mood setter..
I have learned that good intentions can be misunderstood,
I have learned that there is nothing stronger than motherhood.
I have learned that you can not avoid pain and sorrow,
I have learned that not everyone has a tomorrow.
I have learned that if I starve the bad it numbs the good,
I have learned that Pinocchio was made of wood.
I have learned that the truth does exist,
I have learned it is easier if I don't resist.
I have learned you just have to let go of some shit,
I have learned it is better to be legit.
I have learned doing the right thing is worth it in the end,
I have learned that a dog really is mans best friend….
