For Me? For You?

Is my writing for me
or for others to see.


Is the truth yet not told
or will I be too old
for it to do any good
as the truths of life should.


It's often through strife
we learn the lessons of life.


When we learn them this way
there's a price that we'll pay
when we think rules don't apply
that price can be far too high.


Before too late we must learn
rather than let life's problems burn.


So it's essential while young
before by these problems we're stung
to learn these lessons of life
before reaching midlife.


Are these words here for me
or this writing for you?


Who knows maybe it's both!

How I wish that I knew.
