Go forth I was told when much younger <br />Seek out all those things you desire <br />The way may throw up many perils <br />But you have the tools you require <br /> <br />The lessons you learned on survival <br />Will help when the going gets tough <br />Deflect any force used against you <br />You’ll know when your foe’s had enough <br /> <br />Don’t ever go looking for trouble <br />There’s more than enough on the way <br />Beware friends who tell you life’s easy <br />They might want to lead you astray <br /> <br />So now you have grown in your stature <br />Do right in most all that you can <br />The world is now ready to greet you <br />Go forth and live life now young man <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/4-go-forth-young-man/
