Your Place In Line

Comparing yourself to other people, is really futile.
We all have talents or skills that shine for a while.
Some are doctors, lawyers, engineers, and such.
Others didn't start so well, don't have very much.

Remember this,

Life is like, waiting in a long, long, line.
Some are way ahead of you, the rest are all behind.


We are all waiting but eventually we get there.
