In elementary school my grades were adequate although I much preferred to play
Who knew concepts learned so long ago would be applicable today.
For instance here’s a simple thought of which I am exceedingly aware
Life is much more effortless when it’s a life we share.
The more people who share our sorrow, who help and reassure
The easier it is to handle and the longer we endure.
While when we are happy and share that joy with family and friends
Like ripples on the water, that feeling never ends.
I have often wondered about it...why does this phenomenon exists
Is there something in the universe, some teaching I have missed?
How can two opposing feelings, which can never be compared
Have similar consequences when individually shared?
I believe the solution is simple which now I shall provide
The sadness gets divided while the joy gets multiplied.
Imagine that! The answer lies in basic math--all those years ago conveyed
Perhaps if I paid more attention, I’d have earned a better grade.
And it wouldn’t have taken me this long to become exceedingly aware
That Life is much more effortless when it’s a life we share.
