Lesson Lessen

Can you give me a name
As I have lost mine
There is no-one to blame
It just happened with time

To heal all your troubles
You must keep yourself healthy
If you don’t it just doubles
Even if you are wealthy

We can teach quite a lesson
From all that we learn
And our troubles will lessen
If we get what we yearn

But I do have to say
Hold your head up and smile
It’s what I do to this day
And I do it with style
