THE LESSONS THAT STAY
Some lessons were written in books,
some were written on our hearts.
We learned from a teacher’s patience,
a parent’s sacrifice,
a friend’s kindness,
a stranger’s unexpected grace.
We learned that failure
does not mean the end,
and that falling
can teach us how to rise.
Years may take away
the names of lessons we memorized,
but not the wisdom
of what they made us feel.
For education is more
than what we carry in our minds—
it is what remains
when life asks us
who we have become.
