Lessons I have learned...

As I sit here quietly reflecting the last post I made here, I think about roads I have taken, missed opportunities, tears shed, unspoken words or words spoken in haste, but mostly I still think I am blessed. Although all the lessons I have learned have not come without sacrifice and hardship, I survived it, can laugh about it and know that I am that much stronger...I found this song and really liked it so I thought I would share it with you...



Lessons Learned
(Words & Music by Diane Warren)

There's some things that I regret
Some words I wish had gone unsaid
Some starts that had some better endings
Been some bad times I've been through
Damage I could not undo
Some things I wish I could do all all over again
But it don't really matter
When life gets that much harder
It makes you that much stronger, oh
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I'm thankful for every break in my heart
I'm grateful for every scar
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

There's mistakes that I have made
Some chances I just threw away
Some roads I never should've taken
Been some signs I didn't see
Hearts that I hurt needlessly
Some wounds that I wish I could have one more chance to mend
But it don't make no difference
The past can't be re-written
You get the life you're given, oh
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

From every tear that had to fall from my eyes
From every day I wondered how I'd get through the night
From every change life has thrown me
I'm thankful for every breath in my heart
I'm grateful for every scar
Some pages turned, some bridges burned
But there were lessons learned

And all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past coz it's gone
And you gotta just move on
It's all lessons learned

Bridge with new changes:
and all the things that break you
Are all the things that make you strong
You can't change the past cuz it's gone
You just gotta move on
Because it's all lessons learned
