The Facts of Life

Sticks and stones will break your bones But hard liquor will kill you quicker A penny saved is a penny earned A dollar lent is a dollar burned Free advice doesn't cost a cent But it won't help you pay the rent To gain success trust your ambition Don't ever trust a politician Live your life by the golden rule Don't waste your life by being cruel Take deep breaths when feeling nervous Thank a veteran for their service Live for today forget the past Fair weathered friendships never last Don't let hate invade your heart It's hard to quit once you start

Thanks Perry, as a veteran myself, I'll try to stay safe as possible in this world gone crazy. Thanks for the feedback Brother. You stay safe as well.
