Learning 474

Learning

Is a gift even if

Pain is the teacher

Often learning can be of fun

I will keep it up till my life is done

But sometimes when the road gets rough

And you start to think you had enough

Some foggy notion becomes really clear

And all your doubts will disappear

Start a ruckus, getting in action

Give your big idea some traction

There's no failure only learning

Live with joy and keep things churning

Learning

Is a gift even if

Pain is the teacher

Does this brick 

Fit in

The wall I'm building

(Destiny)

Almost all the things we do

Cast a shadow out of view

It's all the small things that add up

Like a little sugar in each coffee cup

Draw something each and every day

In a decade or two you'll have a display

Graduation, marriage or divorce

Well put us on a different course

So I'll consider the choices I make

And hope that it's not just another mistake

Does this brick

Fit in

The wall I'm building

(Destiny)

 

Be 437e

Let the 

Mystery be

Simple joys and homespun pleasures

Love and kindness are the measures

A brief visit to a tiny sphere

Some laughs some tears we disappear

What's going on

Who can till

Some say heaven

Others say hell

Whichever it is the best we can do

Is to be kind and loving until we're through

Let the 

Mystery be

Opinions 473c

Why have all these 

Opinions

Almost all that we live through

Has not much to do with me and you

The only difference that most things make 

Are the petty judgments in which we partake

Why is it this way, who did that

It's always something it's like combat

Stop and think does this really matter

Doesn't make any sense to run such chatter

Really listen to the voice in your head

Seek out the good soon you'll be dead

Why have all these

Contex 473b

Get out of 

Context

The days fly by in comfort and routine

With very little that's unforeseen

But as I reflect back on my past 

The few lessons that really last

Came when I broke the mold

Stepped out and did something bold

When is the last time

You did something for the first time

For me it's been a long time

Get out of

Do all 473d

Do what you

Say

You will do

I sit by the fire and ponder my life

And feel grateful there's so little strife

Robert Services words resound in my ears

When he spun the yarn  of Sam McGee's fears

It ain't being dead thats my awful dread

It's the icy graves that pains

So I'm asking you to promise true

That you will create my last remains

So he says a "promise made is a debt unpaid"

For 50 years now has helped me do what I sayed

Do what you

Say

You will do

Learn 473

You can't learn 

What

You think you already

Know

I went to school and learned lots of stuff

For quite a while I thought it was enough

Then threw good fortune or just dumb luck

All my plans wound up in the muck

I was sure I knew what I should do

The universe showed me that it was untrue 

Now I know that I do not know

I think things thru and go real slow 

Remember you never know what you don't know

So be happy, grateful and enjoy the show

You can't learn 

What

You think you already

Know
