Life's best lessons
Are those that are hardest learned
From our happiness through our pains
Ego and pride may cause strife
We grow and somehow find joy
Life's wisdoms help us mature
And define who we are
Teaching us what we need in life
Just because you don't know every minute particle
of a person's past
Doesn't mean you cant love them more than life it self
in the present as it unfolds
Just because you know all the pieces
Doesn't mean you know where they all fit
For it is better to see the whole picture of today
Than the pieces of the puzzle that remain in the box, untold
The past is what brought us to our present
Creating our here and now
You can never know everything about another person
Their past experiences, past reasons or rhymes
Genuine effort with an interest and desire to learn
Painting a picture, forming the image in whole
Love in the present brings about little moments
Pieces of the past that come out in their own natural times
The irony of love that simply can't be explained
When you meet a person who takes you breath away
They breathe life into your lungs at the same time
Its not the degree of your past lives apart that matters
It's the depth of the present lives together that counts
And is based on a mutual respect and trust earned, without design
There's something to be said about love....
Once you are in it
And it's of the truest kind
Its part of your life's learning sessions
That you needed to learn
Those emotions can never be taken away
The feelings stay with you forever
Throughout the rest of your life's lessons
Respect me for who I am today
Not how I used to be yesterday
My journey to the present is good to know
Yet every wrong turn I took is not of big concern
For people change when they need to
Not when they are told
As life's best lessons
Are those that are hardest learned
