What I would say to myself.....if given the opportunity ..... |
Let me start….by smacking you upside the head For all the silly things done and said Let me continue with words of encouragement You have not yet lost, what you have not yet met You flew the coop, excited and young A new-found freedom flowed through your veins But, oh what a journey it's been, times gone bung BUT where, oh where my dear girl were your brains? Never you mind, lessons have been learnt Times experienced, both dark and light Lessons leaving you better off, then those that have burnt Times that have been easy, times where you had to fight Through the waters of life, you constantly waded Sometimes sinking in the deeper depths of murk Yet, though some of the memories have faded Some do indeed leave you with a fond little smirk So, to this contest as you post and procrastinate Uttering words, some wise, some of rebuke To show others something of what you would say To a younger you, to avoid rumors of ill repute So ode to I, tribute to you Never grovel in the muddy puddles of times gone by Go forward in all you say and all you do, Practice kindness, love and empathy on the fly A few words in closing, from me to you Remember to always love deeply, truly, infinitely Proceed with empathy and compassion in all you do Overall allow your soul & heart to fly free with much love Your slightly tethered, now wiser counterpart |
