Life Is Your Classroom

By Bud Lemire on March 10, 2009

 
Life is your classroom, the earth, the water, and the sun
Tell me what will you have learned, when your time is done
Experience life through nature’s eye
Look closely at the birds in the sky
 
We can learn so much from the creatures all around
The lessons being taught can be so profound
A kitten looks out a window, taking note on what is seen
Seeing all life moving by, and what’s in between
 
The clouds, the sunrise, and the sunset
What do you see, and what do you get
Recognizing what is there, appreciating it all
Opening your eyes to see beyond the wall
 
Opening your heart as well as your mind
Seeing the treasures, that you will find
The trees, the water, the grass that grows
Seeing and feeling whatever touches our souls
 
You sit in nature’s classroom, what is it you learn
Whatever you take in, and at your every turn
Life happens, we can only do our best
It’s not so hard, to pass this awareness test



I find that by experiencing life, enjoying nature, appreciating others - you can learn so much more. Value all you learn, and learn from everything you see and know.
