"I've Loved And Learned"- Original Poetry By Me

I've had my years of sadness,
And I've had my years of joy,
I've ran along the road of life,
Just like a little boy.

Been in the hands of a monster,
And he almost took my life,
I escaped but I just don't know how,
Maybe because he dropped the knife...

Then I thought that I'd found happy,
Spent years within that dream,
Sometimes you wake up suddenly,
Things are just not what they seem...

Lost my best friend David at 24,
That shook me right down to my soul,
I'll never forget the secret kiss you gave,
Going home from our clubland troll.

But Mum oh how I miss you!
You're my greatest loss of all,
Still think of you and my tears just stream,
Still wanting your daily phone call.

Now my life has changed again,
And I hope it's full of light,
I'm singing in the moonlight glow,
And dancing through the night.

Regrets I've only had a few,
Even though I have been burned,
My life was for a reason,
And at least I've loved and learned...
