I hope much wiser I will be
As the years just fade away,
So I`ll not be perturbed at all
About anything people say.

To let hurtful innuendos
Blow on a calming breeze,
This will be my prayer
As I rest upon my knees.

My face I`ll fix into a smile
Unkind words won`t seep into my heart,
Life is far too short,
I should have already made a start.

I think I should be practicing
My future, now, I say,
Then there would be a chance
I`d have a really happy day.
