LESSON LEARNED

This is the one I wrote at my writing group about the lesson learned that you would pass on to others. 

LESSON LEARNED

As a teacher you would think this would be easy.
My while life has been spent imparting knowledge 
But maybe passing on wisdom  is something that escapes me.
The life I've led would say it's not necessarily my forte.

But through it all there is one lesson I would like to mention
And whether I would be saying this were I not a poet is a moot point
We all travel roads in our life when we arrive at a junction
And it's one way or the other but you have to make a choice.

So my advice based on my extensive years of experience 
And it has served me well right from the start
Is that whenever you are faced with that perennial choice
It is better to ignore the head and always follow the heart.
