Coffee and Wisdom

An old man once said to me Be yourself Not who they want you to be Make something of yourself And live you life Don the sucked in To everyday strife Follow your dreams And cherish each day Cause once it’s gone It won’t replay Life is hard It isn’t fair But you will get there If you only prepare You’re a smart boy With potential to spare Don’t kid yourself into thinking No-one’s here to care Cause you have what it takes To make it far As long as you don’t Forget who forget who you are
