I’ve learned in life that I walk alone while those around me have friends and family with whom to share their thoughts and concerns.
I have learned in life that I will not always please those who are near me. Although I may respect them and their opinions, I am not always given the same in return.
I have learned in life that those whom I care about may consider me the reason for their distress. I accept that I may not always be correct and often chastised for my outlook.
I have learned in life that the weather is never always ideal and that issues can arise from any interaction. I have tried to not let myself become involved but I like to interact and accept the possible consequences. I try to accept my role but some times it is difficult to be the one who often takes the blame.
I have learned in life that things are not always fair. There are many who would prefer to see others fail rather than realize success. Competition is good but it is possible for success to be shared. Your success is not my failure nor do I loose in seeing you succeed.
I have learned in life that some are not who they present. Honesty and integrity can be expensive but their value is priceless.
I have learned that life is place where souls go to find a reason to exist. Where souls strive and try to learn about being, about what is important. Some get lost in the wonder and fall into the traps of life such as greed and conceit.
I have learned that life is neither bad nor good. It is what it is. My perception colors the behaviors and actions. It is my choice to love or hate. No one can make that choice for me.
I have learned that life will continue even if I am not here to observe. Although I would prefer to be remembered in a good light, I will not compromise my beliefs to be what I am not.
I still want to learn how to be the best person I can be, to not judge others nor expect of others.
I still want to learn how to laugh and cry, to feel the beauty of being, to know sorrow and embrace sadness as a part of life.
I still want to learn how to engage others, to share their dreams with enthusiasm, to honor their opinions without feeling a need to promote or defend my own.
Some day, perhaps, I will not be alone in my life, perhaps I will not dream alone. Some day, perhaps, I will be asked to join life at the table of delight and wonder. Some Day, Just Perhaps

I will always wonder how it feels to be you, how you know what you know. I will always wonder why I missed you in my time. Perhaps I was still blinded by the light of life. It was so long ago that I felt a meaning to my time. Now it is just moments of waiting for peace and tranquility.

I will live my life as I always have, glad to see you and to see you smile. I will always seek for you the best that I can. I will always offer you my respect and understanding. When my time here is over, I will not regret the life I have lived nor will I long for another time to do better. I will always do the best I can in whatever I do. I will never look back nor ever wish for the old days.
