THE FACES OF LIFE

The Faces of LIFE

 A POEM  by Paul H.

There Have Been Many Teachers That I’ve Had

In This ‘’Game Called Life’’

Here Are A Few

 

You Taught Me That It Was Okay

To Be Who I Am

You Taught That I Was Likeable

When I Didn’t Know That

 

When You Asked If I Could

Come Out To Play

You Meant It

 

A Different Person Taught That Riches

Weren’t Found In Your Bank Account

People You Relate To

Are Far More Valuable

 

When You Laughed, You, Actually, Laughed

You Just Weren’t Being Polite

It’s Such A Difference

You Taught Me About FEAR As A Concept

In A Way I Could UNDERSTAND

And I Could See How It Interfered

                                                 With EVERYTHING

You Taught Me About LOVE Itself

As A Real Commitment and A Feeling

At The Same Time

You Spoke of The Terms

CONDITIONAL and UNCONDITIONAL

And I Immediately UNDERSTOOD

 

Life, You’ve Been Good To ME

And That Is NO Lie

We’ve Had Some Ups and Downs

Over The Years

 

But, I’m NOT Complaining

It’s Been Lots of FUN - All Told

                              I Think I’ll Recommend You To EVERYONE!
