I’m learning new words. Words I never thought I’d need.

It’s our life now, can’t say I wouldn’t want to know these words,

But I would not wish their necessity on anyone.

Life is revealing new sides, assumptions are questioned.

I believe in learning and curiosity – wouldn’t want a lesser life,

But I would not wish these discoveries on anyone.

I’m observing changes, opportunities for transformation and growth.

Adversity as teacher and test of strength and courage,

But if given the chance, I would wish for milder trials.
