From the time
We are born,
We learn about things
That are around us.

We learn how to talk
By listening to others,
By holding onto loving hands
We learn how to walk.

We go to school
To learn about our ABC's,
Teachers provide is
With the basic tools
To guide us through,
The learning road of life.

Our religion becomes the next step
God tries to guide us with His love,
Learn to treat people with kindness
And not expect anything in return
We have to make sure to travel the right road.

The learning process goes further
After we're sent to college,
We learn how to become doctors, or lawyers
The learning process never stops.

Relationships are reveiled
We learn how to love,
How hearts can be brought together
And how they can be torn apart.

We learn life all over again
After we have children of our own,
Teach them things, we've been taught
Provide them with basic necessities.

We learn the loss of loved ones
And how it hurts us inside,
Every day life is a learning process
From the time we're born, until the time we're gone.

I tried to write freestyle. How did I make out?
