On being an old soul

It is difficult to be an old soul
Within this world of ours
I’ve only known a few
Who understand its powers

It is easy to see the grand mistakes
Others will take on
It is imperative we let them be
And let them carry on

For it is within each soul’s contract
To decide the path in which their life will take
We must not dissuade them from their destiny
For if we do, it may change their fate.
