I read this, thought I liked it, and thought I'd post it...so there [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I've Learned... <p>I've learned-
That we don't have to change friends
if we understand that friends change. <p>I've learned-
That no matter how good a friend is,
they're going to hurt you every
once in a while and you must forgive
them for that. <p>I've learned-
That true friendship continues to grow,
even over the longest distance.
Same goes for true love. <p>I've learned-
That you can do something in an instant
that will give you heartache for life. <p>I've learned-
That it's taking me a long time
to become the person I want to be. <p>I've learned-
That you should always leave loved ones
with loving words. It may be the last
time you see them. <p>I've learned-
That you can keep going
long after you can't. <p>I've learned-
That we are responsible for what we do,
no matter how we feel. <p>I've learned-
That either you control your attitude
or it controls you. <p>I've learned-
That regardless of how hot and
steamy a relationship is at first,
the passion fades and there had
better be something else to take
its place. <p>I've learned-
That heroes are the people
who do what has to be done
when it needs to be done,
regardless of the consequences. <p>I've learned-
That money is a lousy way of keeping score. <p>I've learned-
That my best friend and I can do anything
or nothing and have the best time. <p>I've learned-
That sometimes the people you expect
to kick you when you're down,
will be the ones to help you get back up. <p>I've learned-
That sometimes when I'm angry
I have the right to be angry,
but that doesn't give me
the right to be cruel. <p>I've learned-
That just because someone doesn't love
you the way you want them to doesn't
mean they don't love you with all they have. <p>I've learned-
That maturity has more to do with
what types of experiences you've had
and what you've learned from them
and less to do with how many
birthdays you've celebrated. <p>I've learned-
That it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others...sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. <p>I've learned-
That no matter how bad your heart is broken
the world doesn't stop for your grief. <p>I've learned-
That our background and circumstances
may have influenced who we are,
but we are responsible for who we become. <p>I've learned-
That just because two people argue,
it doesn't mean they don't love each other
and just because they don't argue,
it doesn't mean they do. <p>I've learned-
That you shouldn't be so eager to find out a
secret. It could change your life forever. <p>I've learned-
That two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. <p>I've learned-
That your life can be changed in a matter of
hours by people who don't even know you. <p>I've learned-
That even when you think you have no more
to give, when a friend cries out to you
you will find the strength to help. <p>I've learned-
That credentials on the wall
do not make you a decent human being. <p>I've learned-
That the people you care about most in life
are taken from you too soon.

I don't think this poem is off topic at all. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] I hope that those who need to read it most will come to this thread. IMO, this poem is a keeper and should be printed out by all MBers to read when they're having a tough day.<p>Thanks for sharing! [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Karen
