> Lessons You Learned

> For every petal you pluck from a daisy,
> You're granted one measure of love.
> For every rainbow you find with two ends,
> I wish you two stars from above.
>
> For every tear you brush from a cheek,
> I promise you kindness will follow.
> Wherever you walk, under rainbows or stars,
> Over daisies, or down lonely hollows.
>
> For every child you play with and talk to,
> I grant you one heart full of laughter.
> For every smile you place on a face,
> I promise you peace ever after.
>
> If you think "I" am giving you priceless gifts,
> Look close at yourself and your deeds.
> The gifts you earned were the lessons you learned
> While answering other folks' needs.

> By Marlene GerbaThat's beautiful Phil. As usual you've evoked a vision of life that I can aspire to but can never quite reach. I wonder if that's why these things are always talked about in poetry instead of the reality in which we all must survive. "Even when poetry is sad, it's beautiful"
