Don'T Blink

When we are young we are told "don't let youth pass you by" That before we know it life will pass "in the blink of an eye" As a child we are invincible, we live life day to day, We don't care what tomorrow brings we only want to play. Teen years, we experiment with sex, drugs and crime. Not worried about repercussions, we still have lots of time. After this we get a job just starting out our life, Get married and have kids, with your husband or wife. In your 30s now, so many responsibilities for you, Dreams have to be put on hold, there's just too much to do. My advice to you my friends is never tempt your fate, Live your dreams when you can, you don't ever have to wait. Cause the day will come when you wake up, and you can't help but think. That "why did life go by so fast" and "why'd I have to blink"
