Try To Understand Poem by Peter S. Quinn

You must try to understand,
Everything you hear and see;
You must try to understand,
And make your thoughts once free.
Then make up your mind,
Of whatever shall be;
And leave those thoughts behind,
That binds your roots like a tree.
For life is full of passions,
With all its many ways;
They show themselves as rainbows,
After those rainy days.
You must try to understand,
Everything you hear and see;
You must try to understand,
That's what makes your thoughts so free.
Because you can't go on like this,
Never making up your mind;
For life then become just moments of bliss,
Soon to be left behind.
