When we are young we want acceptance
We want to be loved
We try to look good
Worrying about our shoes or our shirts
Trying on the latest fads or hats
Making sure we say the right thing
To impress the best
Trying to fit in to make better friends
Worrying about what others say
Thinking its you they betray
Amidst the constant Trials and sorrows
We see only struggles day by day
No true happiness do we find.
Having only appreciation and acceptance in mind
For who is so important to receive this, do we know?
Our struggle for little, gains nothing in the end.
For when you are old, you will have forgotten who they were.
Your looks will fade, just as the fads from long ago
So what worries will you focus on  for today
You will have nobody now to try and impress
Your days seem shorter as you age
Realizing that life is truly important to you
For during your short stay you will wish for better days
Knowing theres no time to worry once more
Just time to be thankful for each remaining day.
