What They Don't/Didn't Tell You

by Phoenix Ford


What they don't tell you? 

What they don't tell you is that 
life is scary 
marriage is hard 
love is dangerous 

money never flows the way you want it to, 
when you want it too. 

love never comes easy, 
but hard, forceful and strong. 

problems are plentiful and 
solutions sometimes few. 

What they don't tell you is that 
friends should be held close 
and friendships treasured because 
you never know where you may end up 
or when you will need a friend. 
A true friend. 

What they don't tell you is that 
fear is false 
love is pure 
and God is real. 

What they don't tell you is that 
truth is power 
but lies are even more powerful 
and hate is strong 
but love is stronger. 

What they don't tell you is that 
you should find joy where you can 
live life to the fullest 
love as much as you can, as big as you can 
say thank you and please and your welcome 

When someone sneezes, say bless you. 
Hold the door open for a stranger. 
leave a big tip when you get bad service 
cause you may make that persons day. 

speak your mind without fear or censure 
speak your soul openly and fully 
speak your heart justly and truthfully 

speak the language that we have long forgotten. 

compassion. 
hope. 
tenderness. 
mercy. 
faith. 

life is hard. 

be kind. 

what they don't tell you is all you need to know. 

pay close attention, there will be a test later. 

It is up to you, 
whether you pass or fail. 

Are 

You 

Ready?
