Life's Lessons
You have seen it all, the good, the bad
Handled crisis soundly for which you are glad
At an age where you can no longer do physical labour
Why not leave behind a legacy of life in all its flavour
Words of wisdom gathered from experience
Few lines of caution to aid those with inexperience
Some words on values which are depleting day by day
Some thoughts to ponder on life and its way
Some memories of mistakes and your learnings
Some memorable memories of sudden turnings
Crises and how you handled it all
Advice on how to avert a fall
One day death suddenly might come
You may not be there to mentor them
Why not leave behind a legacy for them
Many long for someone to guide them
Future generations will gain a lot
Thank you for lessons well taught
