So I Was Told
So I was told when I was young
Enjoy it now, have your fun
Than as you go through puberty
Cames tales of change
And your parents prayed for tranquility
And it was strange
Onward to adulthood
Then came Motherhood
Now your children are grown
And moved on
Earlier nights to sleep
And yawn
Then comes the age of 50
Boy it’s not as nifty
As thirty
So I was told
Things get better as you grow old
Let it unfold
Wisdom
