No one tells you, when you’re born
That life will leave you battered, tethered and worn
They try to tell you truth
By saying be patient and enjoy your youth
Have fun while you still can
A phrase that as time passes by, you will understand
As a child, I was carefree and curious
As an adult, everything is so serious
As a child the days seemed like they never end
As an adult, sometimes I don’t want to get out of bed as the day begins
As a child, I was open minded
As an adult, sometimes I need to be reminded
Of how loving and nurturing life can be
So through the eyes of the young Tone,
I try to see
There will always be scrapes and bruises
In this bumpy road called life
I wouldn’t call it loosing
There will always be obstacles, no matter which road we’re choosing
As long as it isn’t life ending
In the problem that comes your way, there’s a new beginning
Space for new growth a time for change
Sometimes **** happens and there’s no one to blame
Living isn’t for the weak, only the strong will survive
No matter what you’re going through, on this day we are all blessed to be alive

Stay strong my friends!
