In living a life there are hard lessons learned
Our living existence is often hard earned
We all go through at sometime this school of hard knocks
Where each day brings lesson-filled stresses and shocks
Those lessons do change one’s perspective on life
What once was important is lessened through strife
I’ve learned recently the true value of time
How easy we waste it ignoring its rhyme
The things most important were already here
Given so freely clean planet, clean air
Unfortunately we ignored this clear fact
And now we are dealing with that fact impact
I doubt in my lifetime the tables will turn
And with all of life’s lessons - will we ever learn?
It's good if we can avoid needing to learn the same lessons twice...
