lessons of life

life is like the ocean swells:
it can be so neat calm and uniform,then can become a crashing hell:

for a long time the waves come at you so calm and so serene:
then all of the sudden, out of no where, with no warning can become so harsh violent and mean:

in living we must be calm in the moment and know storms are brewing outside:
we must live humbly in peace without selfish greedy pride:

be so careful not to burn any bridges down:
because you will find one day there will be no friends found:

the greatest lesson in living:
is to learn how to show compassion and to keep on giving:

the badge of courage is awarded to those who learn to forgive:
when with your heart you learn to forgive---you then can be happy --prosper and in peace and serenity live:
