"To Know Life"

To know kindness is to know sorrow

So we pray for tomorrow.

To know love is to know pain

When our days

are of rain.

To know faith is to know trial

It takes strength

for a smile.

To know me is to know you

We see hearts

that are true.

To know life is to live

For true hearts

to give.

Author's Note

...the duality of life, for we cannot have one without the other...and sometimes we see ourselves in each other, so in the end, it is in giving that we truly experience life...God bless, Night.

Beautiful piece. ‘Ahh, the duality of life…’ I can def. relate to this. & it’s very true- sometimes in life, you have to experience the good with the bad. Whether it’s to grow, to learn, to teach- sometimes, you need to experience both sides to really appreciate what you have. And unfortunately, I have find this to be true more times than not. But isn’t it worth it? To love like you never loved before, to truly experience life… To give all that you have, to love all that can- regardless of what could happen. Thank you for sharing this elegant piece of poetry.

...it's so true jenn, all of it make us who we are. It's the reason we have "storms" in life...when we come out the other side, we are different people...life is good...thank you Jenn.:)
