Lessons

What we experience every day

As we embrace God’s way

The journey we take

All the memories we make

What we gain

Through heartache and pain

The divine purpose

That lies beneath the surface

How we gain strength

After talking with God at length

What heals every soul

What makes life whole

All the blessings granted

All the seeds we’ve planted

What makes us smile

Even laugh a little while

How we get filled to the core

Before God offers us more

Moments of pleasure

We cherish beyond measure

Running our race

In a safe and secure place

Opening our eyes

To a wonderful surprise

Lessons

What we’ve learned

All the stripes we’ve earned

Finding solid ground

Sharing the joy we found

Resting in a home

Where our souls can roam

Surviving every storm

Breaking every norm

Facing our naysayers

As we say our prayers

Giving as good as we get

With very little regret

Learning how to live

Learning how to give

Learning how to love

Just like heaven above

Finding a home

Where our souls can roam

Falling then rising again

Knowing faith helps us win

Looking straight ahead

Without an ounce of dread
