Life has been

the most influential teacher

roaring like a lion

sometimes like an iconic preacher

There is no substitute

for real adventures

teaching lessons

with each venture

Living through chaos

searching for answers

solving issues

characters are dancers

Climbing mountains

walking by a stream

hearing wind in the trees

fulfilling a dream

Experiencing storms

filled with emotion

lightening strikes

causing more commotion

Calm returns

onto the next sun rise

everyday new lessons

opening my eyes

An eternal journey

with twists and turns

growth of my spirit

so much to learn
