Life's Lessons Learned

Are we really setting an example for our children when we tell them to get an education 
and yet we don't have one? 
And how can you raise a man to be a man if you never been taught by a man? 
How are we suppose to show our daughters how to be treated with respect, 
If we don't first respect ourselves. 
We have to learn self love and get rid of self hate. 
We must teach our children it's not what you say 
It's how you say it. 
And sometimes you have to go down the road of have nots, 
In order to get to the streets of Amen. 
It's not what can be done for you, 
It's what you have done that speaks volumes. 
Don't let a pass hurt hinder your happiness today. 
Don't allow nonsense to get in the way of your victory. 
Nothing good comes easy, 
And anything worth having you have to fight for. 
But through it all it's never a mistake, 
These are all life's lesson's learned.
