Things Learned

Life is like a garden
good friends are like flowers
times spent together..
such happy hours.
~*~
Life is a mixture
of sunshine and rain
laughter and tears
pleasure and pain
~*~
True greatness you will find
comes in teaching the heart
to be..
thoughtful and kind.
~*~
Promises are falsely spoken
uttered without a care
promises can be broken..
always be aware.
~*~
With trial we suffer
with every shed tear
brings us closer and closer
to conquering our fear.
~*~
Natures greatest forces
are found in simple things
like softly falling snowflakes
drifting down on angels wings.
~*~
There are always two sides
the good, the bad,
the light, the dark,
the happy, the sad.
~*~
Ideals
are like stars in the sky
you can never really reach them..
up so high.
~*~
Three treasures
to make a live complete
with faith, hope and charity..
the bitter turns sweet.

Good reflection on life. There are so many lessons that we must learn while we live.

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?
