[hometext] => There's advice you really appreciate and then there's advice you wish people would keep to themselves.
[bodytext] => So you’ve started on your journey, You’ve begun your life, But before get any further, I want to give you some advice Look into my withered eyes, And tell me what you see, If what’s there is your reflection, Then I have to say I’m pleased Never let ‘em read you, Always keep up your guard, Convince ‘em that you're tough, And show ‘em that you’re hard Life is but a hell hole, A journey of endless miles, It’s full of heartless people, Who will stab you with a smile When they’re down, don’t pick ‘em up Let ‘em wallow in despair, It’s one more place that you can take, It’s one extra breath of air When the bloody battle is over, Those left will be like you, You will find life’s filled with lies, And lightly sprinkled with some truths So I’ll end my talk right here, And let you be on your way, Please don’t ever forget, What I’ve told you here today Stay in touch, my boy I’ll soon be dead and buried, But if you ever get a chance, Write me from the seminary Copyright; E.G.
