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
