Life is a series of lessons, <br />Of which we are supposed to learn, <br />We are supposed to put out the fires, <br />Before the flames catch something to burn, <br />Each lesson gives us knowledge, <br />We didn't have in the beginning, <br />Sometimes it may seem like we're losing, <br />But then one day we find we are winning, <br />In times when we feel the weakest, <br />We find strength we didn't know was there, <br />The puzzle finally fits together, <br />We can release our irrational fear, <br />Move on to something beautiful and new, <br />To restart the life we let lapse, <br />Creating a fortress of future, <br />Letting go of the pain and the past, <br />Cheer like a victor and champion, <br />Because you made it through the rain, <br />You have accomplished much in this life, <br />It's your 'self' you've found once again.<br /><br />Victoria Gauci<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-lynne-2/
