Life's Lessons

“Life’s Lessons”

Take a deep breath,
then follow through.
As the moments pass,
what else can you do?

Circumstances beyond control,
take the breath away.
Heartache follows,
but you cannot sway.

Whatever life holds,
for you today,
tomorrow is uncertain
and you cannot run away.

Your thoughts race,
and your grip is slipping.
Now hold on tight,
as you feel yourself tripping.

Ease your mind,
with the strength inside.
What comes with time,
take in stride.

Learn the lessons,
you need to take
with you through life,
left from the wake.
