The Trainer

 

Once upon a time

A long time ago

I met a trainer

Who had so many lessons to share

 

I wasn’t the best student

But the trainer was pretty good

And didn’t give up

Trying over and over to make me learn

 

You see the trainer knew

From the very beginning

That I was a worthy student

Someone worth investing in

 

And that investment was made

With a huge heart

And with boundless giving

Nothing but good to offer

 

We had fun

So much fun

And looking back

Some of the best fun of all time

 

But I was a loser

Trying so hard to piece together a life

Not seeing what was in front of me

But rather looking into the clouds and dreaming

 

Dreams become nightmares

When you wake up and see

How much you’ve spent and wasted

On things that don’t matter

 

And when it’s too late

You learn in life that some things pass

And never come back

And those are the memories you hold onto

 

Trying to find a way

To match those happy times

With a hope and a dream

That one day - You find it again

 

Right in front of your face
