Lessons To Learn

Lessons to Learn

Learn how to listen
Learn how to care
Learn how to read
Learn how to be fair.

Learn how to love
Learn how to wait
Learn how to save
Learn not to hate.

Learn how to be big
Learn how to be small
Learn how to get up
Learn how to fall.

Learn all about God
Learn other things too
Learn how to feel
Learn how to be true.

Learn the meaning of faith
Learn the meaning of prayer
Learn these lessons well
Learn how to “be there”

When you children need lessons
Show them what you’ve learned
So that they will become teachers
Of the lessons you shared.

We learn by example
Not from lectures or threats
Be a good example
Avoid lifelong regrets.
