greatest thing we ever learn

greatest thing we ever learn

A Poem by Jeanie O'brien

 

Be happy for all you have while time is far too short

And when you reach your dying day that’s you final port


To love is your greatest knowledge as well as being loved in return

For what good is any love if it is not completely earned


The nights can be like heaven and the days a touch of hell

But who can solve the mystery of such a wonderful spell


We choose without interference, our mate, our lover and our friend

But after chasing many dreams its true love that wins in the end


This story is not a new one but often misunderstood

Yet it will go on forever, as long as it is good


So be happy for all you have, don’t favor a different road

It’s never too late to fall in love whether you are young or old



The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and be loved in return
