Life and Time

My Dear Son
You can only be eighteen once in your life
So make use the best of your time
So you don't have to wish you should have
Done the things you should have

My dear son
You can only live once in your life
Life is sweet even sweeter than sugar
But you have to be conscious of your time
Now is the time to define your path

My dear son
Now for the question you asked about love
I'll tell you in these little words
You can only love once in your life
So use your head and not your heart when in love
