They say that age is the price we pay for experience.
When we first find out as a child
That floors are hard
And when you fall it can hurt.
When parents yell at us
As we get near the fire,
We end up in tears,
Wondering if they love us.
We get older our experiences grow,
They make us supposedly much wiser,
Much wiser than we were before.
The biggest lessons we learn
Are from our many mistakes,
The mistakes that we make
As we go,
Go along life’s rocky road.
It’s not only age that paves the way of our learning.
We also deliberately take the choice,
The choice that we know is wrong,
Know is wrong in our hearts and minds,
But is right for others.
If there wasn’t a price to pay
We would never know,
Never know that we’ve learned something.
