You taught me everything I know,
In an unconventional way of course.
More out of silence and company,
Or out of random object selection.
When I needed to be pulled up,
You handed me a giant hook.
When I needed confrontation,
You suggested food for thought.
When I was troubled by worries,
You stared me down and glared.
When I was on the very edge,
You taunted me with a push.
Testing my nerves in every way,
You actually made me grateful.
Grateful for what I had and have,
Grateful for people in my life, like you.

Hehe, some of the best learned lessons don't really seem like a lesson at all....but you're always grateful for them. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, great work!
ReplyDeleteHow true that is. Life's lessons are sometimes more like actions from others.
