So young

Oh, so young, your road ahead,
stretches farther
than your imagination can see.

As each day comes to you,
to become a part of your past,
what lessons will you learn,
in this class that we call life?

'Tis but a journey, and you the traveler,
the paths you take, you choose. 

In wisdom do the wise go forth,
and with their gifts succeed.

Oh, if only the knowledge of the years,
we took with us from our very first step,

but learn is what we must do,
from our accomplishments
as well as our mistakes,
until our life, it is no more.

And in the end we all will win,
our prizes we have earned,
some greater than others,
but all of value, should we
fight the good fight.
