A Message to My Younger Self

A poem of youth

If I could go back in time

And meet myself at ten years old

I’d tell him so much

Everything he needs to know

I’d say your baseball career will die before you enter high school

But you’ll soon learn that you’re loving everything you do

Playing guitar, driving your own car

And standing front row at your favorite concert shows

And yeah they’ll be times

When things don’t turn out right

And nothing seems to go your way

Just say your prayers and you’ll be fine

Good things always take time

And you’ll be okay

Yeah you’ll be okay
