A Lesson Learned

At first we learned to tie our shoes,
a small and simple task,
And yet, it seemed so difficult,
Something way too much to ask.
Then we learned to do some math,
three times three is nine,
It also seems so natural,
But though, not at the time.
Older then we learned to love,
a bond longer than life.
It had it's benefits sometimes,
but others only strife.
Now tears roll down the lovers cheeks,
of those who had to die,
But even here's a lesson learned,
it's okay to cry.
