You Are Who You Are

You are who you are that is the way you were made. Beautiful on the inside and on the outside from heaven above. A bundle of joy for all to see. Talk is cheap and others will speak. Do not let their wagging tongues get to you. Know words will never hurt you unless you let them. Be aware.... many speak lies and not the truth. Read and study learn all that you can. Wisdom is knowledge and power over them. Don't be talked into doing things that are wrong. Learn what is right and follow that path, the path that will lead to a good life. Funny how when we are young we think we know it all. Yet with years we then realize that we knew nothing at all. Be wise and learn about life from the old, for they have traveled the road you are now on. They know the potholes of pain you will reach. You have a life to live and must decide what that will be. Being young is fun so enjoy it, remember be wise all of the time. Enjoy your youth but be careful and be on the lookout. There are wolves that will devour you alive.
