Life's lessons

words when spoken, 
And hearts when broken, 
Are the hardest thing to repair. 
Be gentle with your words, 
And always handle with care 
I fall , I rise,
Picking my words warm and wise. 
I live , I learn ,
Changing each chapter I turn .
I've been hurt , but I'm alive, 
I take each painful experience in stride .
You must hurt in order to know, 
You must fall in order to grow ,
Lose in order to gain, 
Cuz life's greatest lessons are learned through pain.
