To Change a Life
To the younger generation
of the world today
Try not to let drinking,
or drugs get in your way
It may be kinda cool,
to hang with the in crowd
Hitting all the hot scenes,
that crank their music loud
Getting your friends all together,
to form a little group
Then meandering around the town,
like your some kind of little troop
Your choices of today
will affect your days of tommoro
Eventually leaving you looking,
for lost time to borrow
As you age there is alot of,
"I wish I had done this" or "I wish I hadn't done that"
Always looking for an age in life,
you wish you could have back
When you hear those few words,
"You should live for today"
It doesn't mean party all night,
then sleep away the day
Or the other wise words,
"Live each day like it's your last"
That will bring you a day of pondering,
the mistakes of your foolish past
Your head was made for knowledge,
so use it for what it's for
Not a drunken doorstop,
passed out on someones floor
To change even one life,
to me would be just fine
Giving you a life with out a few mistakes,
that I have made in mine
P.S. My head was never a doorstop
But I have seen some,
Such a waste of Life!!
