"life's lessons"
 by H. Nichols
thru the years
with all the tears.
I have a new enterprise
that will make you surprised.
to know of all that's been taught
that no one can scoff.
my heart is dear
and it is clear.
that one can grow 
after being so low.
and yet i still pray
that I am given one day
to love one that I can stay.
so don't worry my friend
the road will be hard to the end.
to this one
it is more than won.
for my heart, my love, my life
is not all in strife. 
for it will be a blessin'
life's well-taught lesson.
so smile my friend
I am here to the end.
