Relearn Life

By Julie O'Hara - Author, Poet and Spiritual WarriorPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

Verse 1

You thought you knew the road ahead

Maps drawn in ink, the lines you tread

But then a cry, a tiny hand

And suddenly, you understand

Pre-Chorus

This isn’t a tale you get to write

It’s a lantern passed, not a guiding light

Chorus

When a child comes into your life

It’s not your job to shape their skies

But to kneel beside their questions wide

And see the world through brand-new eyes

Don’t teach them your worn-out ways

Let their wonder set you ablaze

It’s time to listen, time to stay

And relearn life, day by day

Verse 2

They’ll ask you why the stars don’t fall

Why shadows stretch across the wall

And in their gaze, so pure, so true

You’ll find the parts you never knew

Bridge

Let go of the need to mold

Let the silence break the old

In their laughter, in their grace

You’ll find your softer place

Final Chorus

When a child comes into your life

Let go of pride, let go of strife

Be the student, not the sage

Turn the page, turn the page

It’s not your truth they’re here to trace

But to remind you how to taste

The sacred now, the open way

To relearn life, come what may
