I look at you and I see me
at the age of fifteen
See the world in shadows
Success but a dream
As the years have gone by
I failed for I gave up
But for you today is tomorrow
Your life is in front of you
Not like me in a mirror behind
Sure you will be tested
Sometimes discouraged and bested
But let these words push you on
Experience is all I have left
For if I were you and again fifteen
I'd push discouragement aside
and move on to finish my dream
Time is only a mirror
And in it time is on your side
Success is not the goal just part of the ride
