MISTAKES

​

With the years will come maturity

that is what I was told

​

With the years will come the respect

you deserve as you grow old

​

With the years will come the vision

to know how things can turn out

​

You'll know when you should whisper

and when it's right for you to shout

​

These were the things they told me 

when I was just knee high

​

However now I have to ask you

please can you tell me why

​

How many of the mistakes that

I made throughout my past years

​

Are exactly the same as the ones

that I make now I fear.
