While We Are Young

While we are still in our youth,
It’s a time full of life for me and you,
While we are still young and energetic,
It’s a time we always want to be enthusiastic,
And while we are still young at heart or in truth,
We tend to think there will always be time for everything.

When we are still young and raw,
There’s always time to learn something new,
When we are young we are always on the go,
Life is exciting and full of adventures,
We seldom take time to think
Of actions and reactions,
Of sins and consequences,
Until we are hit back by what we have done
And then maybe it will be too late for us.

While we are still young and youthful,
We should try to make our life beautiful,
Not only in appearance but also in truth,
We should look deep within ourselves and if we find some nasty things lurking in us,
We should take them out
Like trash to be disposed of,
We must turn a new leaf and make amends so we can be truly happy.

Ya, we should always love ourselves and think that each of us are special in our own different ways. I want to always believe that I can still follow my dreams and to live life to the fullest.

Talking about being young...here's a cool video by Mika 'Lollipop'. Love this song!
