Lessons



Thinking about a cup of tea
Water boils through the leaves
Outcome becomes tasteful and healing
Warm and pleasant aromas revealing
Lessons of life are quite similar
Cold, hot and warm temperatures
Nothing on earth can grow without rain
Our world has to endure some pain
A good crop will produce good fruit
A good mind will be full of truth
A trees roots are as strong as our veins
If destroyed is the same as a body slain
To learn we are all given classes
Although the truth of life is not often taught through the masses
We are all filled with so much hypocrisy
A distraction given so we do not truly see
What goes in a man is not what makes him vile
What comes out has the power to defile
Every situation has a cause and a ripple affect
Time to wake up and realize we can all be blessed
