The Lesson
Life goes on,
All around me
And it’s comforting to think
Anything that I do badly
Doesn’t matter,
In the long run
To anyone or anything
Even I, when time goes on
Will struggle,
To remember
The very thing which, years before
I’d thought was a disaster
Anything I do today,
I do today alone
I will not let this moment take
Tomorrow’s thoughts and dreams
For now, I’ve learned
-A lesson earned
That nothing’s as bad as it seems
