The Lessons

The Lessons

A Poem by donny ingraham

Sometimes it takes a fall for a blind man to see
mistakes made are same
yet while others laugh
you grow
learning from the wrong
Others judge
so quick to condemn
never fully knowing the story
or the life lived
Yet fire remains
no matter the dirt that covers
the fire still burns
no matter how small
The eyes of others may misjudge
the directions to make it here
the turns made
both right and wrong
The steps taken are many
the road has been bumpy
but the journey is far from over
and it won't end here
