Lessons

The moon taught me to dance
Barefooted in the rain
The rain taught me to smile
Gave me strength through all the pain
The pain taught me to live
As if tomorrow wouldn’t come
Tommorrow taught me swiftly
To learn to love the Sun
The Sun taught me to shine
As brightly as the day
The day taught me that laughter
How to keep my fears at bay
My fears taught me to reach out
As often as I can
And reaching out has taught me
I don’t have to have a plan
Lack of plans has taught me
Spontaneity is best
Spontaneity has taught me to give
Without regret
And all these lesson I have learned
Have proven just one thing
That giving freely of yourself
Can get you everything.
