Life Is Much More Than the Teen Age Love

Life is much more than teenage love.
Ever noticed your mom daily running the stove?

See your dad going to the job, which doesn't please him. 
When it was your birthday, and his boss didn't release him.

How he requested from him, and how he was denied.
How he made excuses to you and then at least he lied.

See that little child who doesn't have a childhood?
Who works from dawn to dusk in your neighborhood?

How he stretches every nerve to get him the food.
How humble he is when his master becomes rude.

See those who cannot even fancy success.
The amenities you have are not in everyone's access.

So, my dear be yourself and let your smile stay.
Be a source of light and throw your sadness away.
