"count On Yourself"

Sometimes in life we put people on a high place..
Only to be let down and watch them fall from grace..
We should not hold them in this regard..
It only makes our love for them oh so hard..
Lessons learned and understood..
No one is perfect as we wish we could..
So dust ourselves off, get back in the game..
Count on yourself first and expect the same..
Never to old to turn a page, never to late
to learn at this age..
So when the rain comes down and your not sure what to do..
Be smart take an umbrella, and count on you..
