Preparation

You can't always have it all You can't always play ball You can end up falling short When your goals are tall You have to pick up the slack You can't always be on the right track You might have to get off the next stop,and walk back! You get what you put in You get back what you payback Life's about with you give As much as its about what you receive You got to take what you get Learn what you can,and only take sure bets Other wise instead of being right with wisdom,your left with regret Read between the words Pay attention to there actions Other wise life's like waiting in line Rather then being the attraction And your kids been on every other ride and still has no satisfaction Take what you can from this life Pass the knowledge down to the ones who carry your name Prepare them for the task Give them strength to admit there faults,and never blame Tell them to carry there name with there head up tall Or don't let them carry it at all At the end of the day What is the purpose if its not to better this earth Things to be considered before your wife gives birth Why have a child with your wife If there's no chance at,providing quality life?
