Subject: thought I would share a poem

In life we learn inevitable things,
That every one must learn,
Like, how to start a fire,
But not what makes it burn.

We always learn what to do
But not the who or how,
All the things that we missed
Seem to matter now.

We pass it on and try our best
But oddly all we know,
Is how to plant a flower
But not how to make it grow.

How to be yourself
But never how to be
How to look at things
But never how to see.

The value of a dollar
Not what it can give,
How to prove your life,
But never how to live.

We learn to give to others,
But never how to share,
How to care for others,
But never how to care.

We are given keys to unlock,
And empty treasure chest,
We learn to live and love
And somehow pass the test.

They pass us by and by
And we learn to live without
But still the void it lingers
It always stays about.

Enlightened are those who learn,
What simple things we’ve missed,
And human are those whom missed
What simple things we’ve learned.

I hope you all like it.... lets all try to have the courage to learn the things we've missed in life..... so often we lose track of what is really important.... that is what this poem is about... we seem to focus on doing of things and lose site of the follow through.... I think this can apply to weight loss... in that we can learn to follow through and learn the pieces we've missed allong the way....

thanks for listening....

semper fi,
Ivy
