Mistakes

It's not so easy to find out later

About the necessary needs for survival,

You think you know enough to get you through life

But find out too late of chances passed by.

An early start is not so important

But timing is most essential,

Opportunity gone is gone forever

You'll never know how much you could have been.

And once gone, gone forever

You will find out to your cost

A better use can be made of your time

But don't think that life is easy

You may never get a lucky break

They'll put you down, cold and unknown

A total failure from womb to grave
