Haven

Welcome back,

it’s a bit of a sore to see you again,

but we’ve gained a new lesson, too, no?

Know when to say no — even

when others are inviting you —

for history is written in actions, not in excuses.

Apply yourself in all waking moments,

instead of living vicariously through stories.

It’s not just a privilege, but a responsibility.

Time is chasing you, labeling you with age.

Let your age be a badge of honor

rather than a sign of warning.

Alright, off you go again.

Give it your best out there.

I’ll be here alright.
