Knowing When

When I look around my life

it's easy for me to see…

sometimes I am a student…

other times…

a teacher I will be.

 

When I don’t have all the answers

I’m a student…to be reached.

When I have a certain answer, 

and I’m asked…

then I will teach.

 

One key to life, for me,

is easy to discern…

It’s knowing when to teach…

 

and knowing when to learn.
