I Learned...

I Learned

Jacqueline’s Junque

 

 

I learned how to laugh
trapped inside my tears...
I learned to be human
in my most wretched years.

I learned to feel
when I wasn't being touched...
I learned to share
when I didn't have much.

I learned to be warm
when I trembled with cold...
Living quite humbly,
I learned to be bold.

I learned to live
when I thought I would die...
I learned how to laugh
when I did nothing but cry.

I learned from below
what it's like up above...
While I was yet hated,
I learned how to love.

It was on the move
that I learned how to rest...
And while at my worst,
I learned of my best.

I learned about God,
when it seemed I was damned...
It is when I was lost
that I found who I am.

I learned I was rich
with so much to give...
To keep reaching out,
everyday that I live

To never give up
or abandon the fight....
To stand and be counted,
when I'm certain I'm right.

To be kind and compassionate,
teaching others to cope...
To believe in myself,
and live each day with hope.
