Untitled- About Life

Just when you think you know
The direction you're heading in
The path you are on splits into more
And your plans end up in the bin

Life is full of many choices
Many avenues you can take
don't let others decide for you
these are YOUR choices to make

Calculate all the risks
Beware of the unknown
Which ever choice you decide to make
Make it on your own

Don't let others pick a path for you
it seems much easier, i know
But they have no idea what you want
or where you want to go

Balance what your head is saying
with what you feel in your heart
Remember, you, your friends and family
Will one day be apart

Don't look where you have been
Yesterday is history
Try to think of what might be to come
Tomorrow is mystery

Work your hardest every day
oneday you will be thankful that you did
and you will sit back laughing
at what you were like when you were a kid

Savor every single day
time is too important to waste
life has so much more to offer
So far, you've had but a taste!
