Live to Learn

Patrice Watley Williams/Poetic Lyricist   Lower Level, Higher Ground So many phases of life Which direction would they have gone? With no intrusion Which direction would they have gone? If all people were genuinely happy And no man would tread on another People departing out of hurt and anger People departing over what someone else has said Over partial truths and lies that another mouth has spread First loves of the young mind Never realizing the true signs Of separation that comes with gossip and jealousy of mankind Had our hearts been more mature Not to stumble to lower levels But to climb to higher grounds To block the haters that impede Causing one to leave behind first true love That could have been What no one ever knows but leaving one to ponder Leaving one to wonder what we could have done What we should have done The mature mind would have talked it out To find out what all the nonsense was about Two people who have moved beyond the hurt and pain Not to remain friends but to regain poise From all the noise that was planted into their ears And reconnect on a different level from all the wasted and lost years Two people who lived their lives on separate foundations Finally coming back together with understanding With perceptive minds never to allow another man’s words To come between them again.   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Live to Learn The wrong way to be right But no right way to be wrong Classic lessons of the Bible Hard lessons of the world Before my time and after my rhyme Using my body as a temple To hold my poetic dictionary Of soulful expressions Personal training as I learn From my unique flow of terms Regions of embedded knowledge Finally beginning to make sense In my daily existence Changing the means of which I see And understand Signs of growth from awareness Premium sounds echoing in my ear The vibrations ignite something In my brain, original words but new Waves of expressions No need to protect these words Wanting all ears to hear Wanting all eyes to see My soul plastered on paper Flowing from deep inside of me   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   Simply Living City living in my heart Country girl in my soul Touching the heart Stirring the soul Finding my mentors Forming my mold Branding my name Embracing my life’s role Continuing my journey Anticipating my star of gold Learning to give more The return will triple-fold Teaching to go for it all Never placing life on hold Simply Live…….     Poetically,   Patrice Watley Williams, Founder: wearitgirlwigs.org   amazon.com/author/patricewatleywilliams Outreach Committee Chair/ http://www.iwillsurviveinc.org   ***to purchase my books click any link below: http://www.amazon.com/My-Pen-Speaks-Poetic-Vibes/dp/160911325X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313849129&sr=8-1 http://search.barnesandnoble.com/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/e/9781609113254/?itm=1&USRI=my+pen+speaks http://www.booksamillion.com/p/My-Pen-Speaks/Patrice-Watley-Williams/9781609113254?id=5058590506127 Thank you for allowing me the freedom to be expressive as my Caterpillars blossom into Butterflies!!!
