It was easier

It was easier when
We were young

Making choices
About what to do

When we used to go out
Wherever we went

It was easier when
We were young

It’s harder now
Because we are older

It’s harder to make choices
It’s harder to make choices
Because we grew out of the young stage

That’s why it was easier when
We were younger

Well said young man! We are always faced with choices in life, some more complex than others. No matter the circumstance never forget your POWER to choose. Keep up the good work!
