We hold on to things the tightest
when we are forced to let them go-
We always want things a certain way,
when we know they cant be so.
Dreams always last the longest,
when they are the furthest from our reach,
And the lessons we can learn the most from,
are often the very ones we teach.
The grass is always the greenest,
when it lies on the other side
And the truths we preach to others
are often those we cant abide.
We hold fast to the things in a storm
which are most likely to blow away
And yet we neglect to wear sunscreen,
on a bright and sunny day.
We spend out time trying to see things,
when perspective is one thing we lack
and we never appreciate what we`ve got, until we cant get it back.
