Lessons
You Learned
For
every petal you pluck from a daisy,
You're
granted one measure of love,
For
every rainbow you find with two ends,
I
wish you two stars from above.
For
every tear you brush from a cheek,
I
promise you kindness will follow.
Wherever
you walk, under rainbows or stars,
Over
daisies, or down lonely hollow.
For
every child you play with and talk to,
I
grant you one heart full of laughter.
For
every smile you place on a face,
I
promise you peace ever after.
If
you think "I" am giving you priceless gifts,
Look
close at yourself and your deeds.
The
gifts you earned were the lessons you learned
While
answering other folks' needs.
