What Does It All Mean

MAMA
WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN

YOU’LL FIND OUT
WHEN YOU GET OLD

BUT LITTLE ONE
WHEN YOU FIND OUT 
DON’T TELL ANYONE
OR YOU’LL RUIN IT 
FOR EVERYONE

JUST TELL THEM
THAT THEY’LL FIND OUT
WHEN THEY GET OLD
AND NOT TO TELL ANYONE
WHEN YOU FIND OUT

So sad, and yet so true. Can you imagine if ,as innocent children we knew how difficult life can get. Well written.
