What is it that brings two people together
no matter what the distance 
or circumstance?

Does your heart search,
reaching out through your dreams,
your hopes and wants?

Can your spirit travel and find that one lone soul
that is connected to yours?

Are all these meetings things of chance,
of being at the right place,
at the right time?

We are all destined...
our "Lessons" in this life...
our homework for this life assigned.
Is it to teach the other 
or is it our "Lesson"?

Regardless,
we must go through it.
Some are our "Soul mates"
another can be our "Life mate"
the one we share it all with.

Without these and for not taking the chance
will we truly learn
our "Lessons" this time?

Each time we learn something different...
what others see in us
and
how we dealt with them.

Are these things we want to continue doing
or
do we need to change our ways?

We all are learning and growing
each time we meet someone
they bring out another part of us.

But, is it a part that was already there
waiting to surface all along?
Sometimes...yes.

I'll always remember the situations
 that I have found myself in
that hurt me
or
taught me.

I wish I could personally thank the people
that have taught me who I am.
For each of them I have learned
and
with that
I can help others and most of all...
I can help myself.
