The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

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
