Life
When we all are born,
We don't have a care in this world,
Everything is provided for us,
And the world seems easy,
However, As we get older,
We begin to understand,
The values of life,
From falling in love,
For the first time,
To learning to drive,
All the way to getting a job,
And paying our own bills,
As we get older,
We learn more in life,
Whether they are mistakes or not,
And whether we like them or not,
We need to pass the knowledge,
To the younger generation,
So, If they listen to us,
They actually have been down,
The roads you have been down,
In one form or fashioned,
And have made a lot of the same mistakes,
So, don't be afraid to talk to them,
And ask them for advice,
Cause they aren't just old and crazy,
They could actually save your life.
