I often wonder so much as I live my life
About all I've leaned from life it's true
And there's no way I would try to tell
Most of it to anyone as I'd love to do
But in all of my honesty and sincerity
I would not know just where to begin
As most of it is how I saw it as being
And unless asked telling would be a sin
Poetry allows us to give a brief idea
Of how within our souls we mostly feel
About things in general and of interest
But not deeply what we learned was real
So many things there are of life and lives
Intricate views not considered by the many
And when one's spent one's life looking deep
One finds truths not known by lots if any
Buy with my seeing this life as a school
And students us being one and all in same
One feels one should not push their ideals
Onto others in class as then I'd be to blame
We all learn by mistakes weve made in life
And those mistakes are for reasons deep
If it was not for those learning points
The road to heaven would be so very steep
It's a shame but most upon earth within
Really feel within that this life is it
Even though they have faith and believe
That thinking places our souls in grit
But we are not supposed to know of this
As we are but students within a class
And not supposed to profess to know it all
And rightfully so as it all is something vast
That's why I would rather choose simplicity
And old school values long ago taught to me
It's all very simple knowing right from wrong
And it lives despite all of life's diversity
I watch two birds upon a limb up so very high
I admire their being as those two birds are
And as a child with heart and soul so mild
If I followed their way it could take me far
They tell not of where their lives took them
Or how hard their life for them has been
But they teach in volumes to the listeners
With wisdom's way more precious than supreme,
