Everybody Has To Experience

Everything

Everybody has to experience 
The rug taken away from under them 
When their world comes crashing down 
And they are left with nothing but breadcrumbs 

Everybody has to experience 
Falling in love 
When the whole world to them
Becomes immaterial 

Everybody has to experience poverty 
When food for the next meal
Becomes a questionable source 
And then they realize what life is all about 

Everybody has to experience 
Childhood 
With mom. dad and siblings
And joy, peace and quiet
 
Everybody has to experience 
Adulthood 
When love. experience and longing 
Go hand in hand, neck to neck 

Everybody has to experience 
Friendship 
When good, bad and ugly
Gets to decide where to live 

Everybody has to experience 
Everything in life 
So they will understand 
How to treat their neighbor 
And how to be a friend

Everybody has to experience 
God in all His abundance 
So they will learn to live 
In obedience, kindness and be a good neighbor from without and within 

Everybody should love, laugh and let go to God
Just be true to yourself and to all 

Here’s to everybody 
Cheers 🥂
