A Bit of Advice

Life's lessons are hard 
Yes, that's what they are 
You keep on learning 
Trying to go far 
You have a set path which is 
worked out just for you 
So follow it slowly 
And think about what you do 
It's so easy to wander 
And get lost on the way 
And then try to hold on 
Too late in the day 
Watch out for temptation 
It comes in many ways 
Listen to what your conscience says 
Because once you've gone wrong 
It's hard to put right 
No point looking back; it's a long, hard fight 
So remember it's all down to you 
Put thought in your actions and the things you do!
