Good Advice

Wisdom from a grown-up 13 year old, Circa 2002

By Sadie Hirsch Published about a year ago 1 min read

Don't walk too slow, don't run too fast

If you always wait your future will be your past

Don't waste your time searching for gold

All you'll ever need is in your soul

There's things in life which you just can't part

Listen to three words - Follow your heart

Find a mate and fall in love

If you find yourselves apart, you'll find eachother up above

Live a simple life and find ethics to abide

So on a day when you're lonely you'll be satisfied

Make good friends and find your true self

Listen to your conscience and nothing else

Be free as a bird, be grounded as a tree

Have nowhere else to go

Have places left to see

Be wise like your instincts

Listen to what they say

It will help you out on a bad sunny day

Make many mistakes, and learn from them all

So when you're on the edge you'll know how not to fall

Be kind to every man, one day you never know

If the toes you once stepped on decide if you stay or go

There are always answers to un-asked questions

Always take with you your life's lessons

Troubles will come, that much you should know

If there's anything you've learned, you know they always go
