Life Lessons

When I was young I learned some things,
about life, the world and what it brings,
twas then I realised, there's truth, there's
ignorance, there's lies,
I learned not to judge or critize, claim
precedence or compromise,
To listen with open mind, its up to
you the truth to find, and if you're
lucky and play it right, you'll find
you're way, you'll find your light,
Walk through this world, tall and proud
don't be judgemental, don't be loud,
don't point or take the higher ground,
cause what we give will come around,
other people may have their say,
thats their right, to play their way,
and if you're hurt by something said,
it's not you, it's in THEIR head,
For you can turn and walk away,
they cannot, they must stay.

My thoughts today!
