I Have Learnt That...

everyone has come into my life
to teach me something
good and bad


my mother teaches me
the power of love
the power of will


my father-in-law teaches me
the power of understanding
through actions, not words


my husband teaches me
human changes
love conquers all


my siblings teach me
the power of togetherness
through thick and thin


my children teach me
they are god's greatest gifts
not all are blessed
to have them


my friends teach me
the bond need no barrier
bound by care and kindness


my foes teach me
to keep on trying
and praying
to love
to be loved
