teaching moments


in school we have lessons about how to add and subract, multiply and divide

at home we have lessons about how to properly live our lives

in life we get bumps and bruises and it's considered apart of the "experience"

but in books, in the lines of poetry we can learn from the mistakes of others

hidden within the eloquent rhymes of poets are the lessons we need to live our best lives
