Advice...If You Want It
Be still by quiet waters so,
Reflect on what has past
Accept that life has ups and downs
And laughter cannot last,
Take all the knocks that come your way
Be last to lay the blame
Not always have to have your say
And play the waiting game
Be brave when tasked with things you dread
Be wise with what you hear
Keep secrets told within your head
And enemies quite near.
Live life in all it's fullest form
Be frightened not of trying
Be strong amidst the fiercest storm
And not afraid of dying.
Take advice then sleep it through
Let sleep be judge and jury
Regret has ways of haunting you
For moments lost in fury
Above all else in all you do
Be guided by your conscience
Let no-one live your life for you
And pay no heed to nonsense.
