Everything teaches a lesson,
Whether it is to be kind,
Or to master yourself,
Control your own mind.

The birds teach us of nature,
Of its necessity in this world.
How black hearts can change
When exposed to its swirls.

The grass teaches us of empathy,
For when tears fall from the sky,
The grass dries them up,
And dabs at the sky's eyes.

People teach one another of compassion,
For the stranger on the street,
The homeless child who
Has nothing to eat.

Lessons are everywhere,
If you just look around.
I promise there are an
Infinite number to be found.
