All I Gained
Ask me what I know of loss,
And I will tell you all I've gained.
The knowledge and wisdom that I possess
Was not easily obtained.
The empathy that I feel for all,
Envelops everything that is me.
The anguish endured taught the lessons,
And every perspective I learned to see.
Logic and sound reasoning
Bind the foundations of common sense.
'Tis not a flower found in most gardens.
Which is why these people take such offense.
And I will tell you all I've gained.
The knowledge and wisdom that I possess
Was not easily obtained.
The empathy that I feel for all,
Envelops everything that is me.
The anguish endured taught the lessons,
And every perspective I learned to see.
Logic and sound reasoning
Bind the foundations of common sense.
'Tis not a flower found in most gardens.
Which is why these people take such offense.
Key Words : life, wisdom, lessons
