Life Lessons from Literature


Oh the Places You Will Go and the people you will see
Will serve as life lessons if you only take heed.
The Little Engine That Could taught me to never give up
To believe in myself when the going gets tough.
My eight-legged friend, Charlotte, is a role-model for life.
She taught me that true friendship means sacrifice.
Marguerite Johnson's example taught me perseverance and determination
To rise above circumstances with a song in my heart.
Joe from Little Women gave me the strength to be me
To make my own decisions no matter what others may think.
Then I met Forsaken whom God calls Beloved.
She reminds me daily that Master Potter's grace and mercy are sufficient.
The lessons learned from literature are ones I hold in my heart.
To build upon and cherish from me they will not depart.
