He Learnt Love
Hello friends on steemit, trust we are all doing fine..
Will love to share a piece, and I hope u don't get swayed by giving it a quick glance I hope u learn something from it😊
"He learnt love"
I watched this little boy grow up from a child to an adult
From a faulted family, a nagging mom, a cheating Dad, no siblings
Always on his own
How could this little boy grow up to be any different from his parents
Despite watching their lifestyle
And adapting to the environment for a very long time
Who taught this boy how to treat other people with love
Who taught him how to lead with love
Who taught him how to feel the pains of others
And wanting to sacrifice his happiness for another
Now this little boy is a grown man
With a beautiful family
Never letting his wife shed a tear or feel a pain caused by him
He was always ready to learn every single detail
So he would not make a mistake
So he would not end up like his father
This little boy whom always yearned for love
And cry himself to sleep
Is now a grown man, so different from his father
Who taught this little boy love..?
That is when it occured to me that
Sometimes, Regardless of the background we grow up from
We always have a choice to be different
To be positive, to be what we want to be
Not the environment you grew up from nor the persons that raised you can make YOU
Though he had never felt love
But he learnt love
Thank u friends for sparing your time to read this piece
I'll love to know your thoughts on this piece @patjewell, @heriadi and @mbetobongluke.
No matter where we are, where we go, who we are, or our circumstances, we wake up every morning and have to make choices. It starts with whether I should get out of bed or not. (•ิ‿•ิ)
We also have the choice to be different, like you've said. Unfortunately, being different and staying positive is not always easy.
Best wishes!
Thank you Ma
Pleasure! 🎕
